India vs Sri Lanka 1st T20 Playing 11

The new era of Indian cricket is on the rise after a successful 2024 T20I World Cup campaign in the West Indies and the USA under the leadership of coach Rahul Dravid and skipper Rohit Sharma. However, Rahul Dravid’s tenure ended in the Cup, and skipper Rohit Sharma announced his retirement from the T20Is along with Virat Kohli following the World Cup finals, leaving huge shoes to fill behind them. Notably, the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) has now appointed Gautam Gambhir as the new head coach of India and Suryakumar Yadav as the new captain of the men in blue for the shortest format in international cricket. The new leadership will debut on Saturday, July 27, with the first of the three-match T20I series in Pallekele, Sri Lanka.

Now, with Rohit and Virat gone, India will have to find the perfect replacements for the team and coach Gambhir can use the series against the Lankan Lions as the perfect opportunity to shape his ideal playing 11. Rohit and Virat opened the innings for India during the 2024 T20Is World Cup, meaning the opening slot is now up for grabs. While there are several contenders, according to fans and experts, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill are current favourites for the open slots. 


The bowling department will also be in focus as India’s best spinner and pacer from the World Cup, i.e., Kuldeep Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah, have both been given rest by BCCI for this series, and Ravindra Jadeja has also announced his retirement from T20Is. Axar Patel and Ravi Bishnoi can be the team’s first-choice spinners, while Md. Siraj, Arshdeep Singh and Khaleel Ahmed might be their three fast-bowling options. However, coach Gambhir can also try three spinners and two pacers as they have Hardik Pandya in the team as a fast-bowling allrounder.
