India vs Sri Lanka 1st T20I: The Indian team, under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav and newly appointed coach Gautam Gambhir, is going to take on host Sri Lanka in the three-match T20I series. This is Gautam Gambhir’s first international assignment after his selection as India’s head coach, and it is a big opportunity for him and the newly appointed T20I captain of India, Suryakumar Yadav, to prove themselves. Shubman Gill will be Surya’s deputy in the T20I series. Riyan Parag, who showed immense improvement in his game during the IPL 2024, is in the selected squad. Though the youngster failed to put on a performance in the T20I series against Zimbabwe, he has been given another opportunity.
Charith Asalanka will captain Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka didn’t have a great T20 World Cup 2024 campaign under the captaincy of Wanindu Hasaranga, who stepped down after Sri Lanka’s exit from the tournament after the Group Stage. Charith Asalanka has captained Sri Lanka previously against Bangladesh, and it will be interesting to see the clash between him and Suryakumar Yadav on the field.
