Team India are all set to start the new year with a three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka. India will be led by Hardik Pandya in the T20I series at home. In absence of big names like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, Indian batting will depend a lot on Suryakumar Yadav in the T20I series.
After the completion of the T20I series, India, under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, will take part in a three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka. The ODI series will also mark skipper Rohit’s return to action. Rohit was initially ruled out of the two-match Test series against Bangladesh earlier this month due to his thumb injury.
