The T20 series against Sri Lanka is starting from July 27 in Pallekele. All three matches are to be played on this ground and Team India is preparing to win the series. This series is very special for Team India because both the captain and coach of the team are new. The command of the T20 team is in the hands of Suryakumar Yadav and Gautam Gambhir has become the head coach.
Team India wants to win the T20 series in Sri Lanka easily and for this, special training has been started at Pallekele ground. According to media reports, Team India organized a special fielding drill on Thursday, in which captains of three teams were made.
Hardik Pandya won the match
According to the report, Gautam Gambhir has made Suryakumar Yadav, Shubman Gill and Hardik Pandya the captains. Each team had 5-5 members. The players of all three teams had to hit the cone directly. All three teams gave their best but in the end Hardik Pandya's team won. Rishabh Pant scored 2 and Arshdeep Singh scored one direct run. Shubman and Surya's team lagged behind in this matter.
There was a long conversation between Hardik and Surya
During the practice held in Pallekele on Thursday, Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav had a long conversation. This was the first time after the captaincy controversy that both the players were seen talking for so long. After winning the T20 World Cup 2024, it seemed that Hardik Pandya would be the T20 captain, but considering his fitness, the Team India management gave this responsibility to Suryakumar Yadav. However, this decision does not seem to cause any rift in Team India. Now it remains to be seen how Team India plays in the T20 series and wins with a clean sweep or Sri Lanka wins at home.
