Team India's new head coach Gautam Gambhir is also going to start his tenure with this series. The big question is which wicketkeeper will be given a chance in the first T20 match against Gambhir. The list of wicketkeepers includes the names of 2 players.
Which player will Gambhir give a chance to in this series?
Two wicketkeeper-batsmen have got a chance in Team India for the T20 series to be played on the Sri Lanka tour. But only one of these two wicketkeepers will be seen in the playing XI. Let us tell you that these two wicketkeepers include Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson. Both these players were also included in the T20 World Cup 2024, but only Rishabh Pant got a chance to play in the World Cup, while Sanju remained out of the entire tournament.

Sanju Samson gets a chance in the team but Sanju is rarely given a chance in the playing eleven. Even after scoring a century in his last ODI match, Sanju was not included in the ODI team for the Sri Lanka tour. Now once again Pant is likely to get a chance in the playing eleven in place of Sanju. Pant will also be seen batting at number 3 if he gets a chance. Apart from this, Sanju is a right-handed batsman and Pant is a left-handed batsman, so Gautam Gambhir can choose a left-handed batsman.
