Two wicketkeepers Samson and Pant are expected to play in T20 against Sri Lanka

Led by India's newly appointed head coach Gautam Gambhir and new captain Suryakumar Yadav, the team has reached Colombo and the Indian team will play a three-match T20 series against Sri Lanka from July 27. After reaching Palekal, the Indian team has started intensive practice for the Sri Lanka mission from Tuesday.

The Indian team will play in the T20 format after a long time without Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja. All three players have retired from the shortest format of cricket. During practice, Gambhir gave batting tips to Samson. It is difficult for foreign teams to beat Sri Lanka on its home ground. However, the Sri Lankan team is not the same as before. Sri Lankan spinners have been creating problems for the rival batsmen for some time now. They have a mystery spinner in every series who creates problems for any team.

Gambhir, who included two wicketkeepers Sanju Samson and Rishabh Pant in the team during the practice session, has given an indirect indication. Apart from Sanju Samson, Gambhir also had a long conversation with Shivam Dubey. Dube played all the matches of the T20 World Cup. There may be indications of Gambhir's future plans after the series against Sri Lanka.
