The first 3-match T20 series will be played between India and Sri Lanka. The first match of this series will be played on 27th July. For which the players of Team India are practicing hard on the net. On 23rd July, the first practice session of Team India was held under the leadership of new head coach Gautam Gambhir. In which all the players sweated a lot on the net.
Now the big question is what will be the playing eleven of Team India without Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja and Jaspreet Bumrah. This time Team India has reached Sri Lanka with a new face, apart from this, the command of Team India in the T20 series is in the hands of Suryakumar Yadav. According to reports, the coach and captain have almost finalized the playing eleven for the first match. After which 4 players are seen out of the playing eleven.
These players can get a chance
Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill can be seen opening in the first T20 match. Captain Suryakumar Yadav is expected to play at number three, while Rishabh Pant can bat at number four. Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dubey, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh and Mohammad Siraj are likely to be included.
4 players can stay out of it
Riyan Parag, Sanju Samson, Washington Sundar and Mukesh Kumar have also been selected in Team India for the T20 series. But now if reports are to be believed, it is very difficult for these four players to get a chance in the playing eleven of the first match. However, if Team India wins two consecutive matches and gains an unassailable lead in the series, then these four players can be included in the playing eleven for the third and last T20 match.
Probable playing XI for the first T20 match
Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dubey, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh and Mohammed Siraj.
