SL vs IND Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Updates For 1st T20I

Table Of Contents

Preview

The first of the three T20I series matches between the Men in Blue and (SL vs IND) is scheduled for July 27 at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy. The match marks the start of a new era for the team in white-ball cricket. Notably, Suryakumar Yadav will skipper India in a T20I series, replacing the retiring Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.

The next series also heralds the start of Gautam Gambhir’s coaching career, as he succeeds the late great Rahul Dravid. Sri Lanka is ranked ninth in the world, and the Men in Blue are the best T20I team in the globe. In their own territory, Charith Asalanka will be in charge of a formidable Sri Lankan team that could pose a challenge to India (IND).

There is a lot of enthusiasm surrounding Gautam Gambhir’s first game as an Indian head coach, and Suryakumar Yadav will be leading the Indian team, so the opening game of the series should be exciting. Under Shubman Gill’s captaincy, India recently defeated Zimbabwe 4-1, while the Lankan Lions have not played since they were eliminated from the T20 World Cup 2024 group stage.

Fascinatingly, everyone’s attention will be on Hardik Pandya, who makes his comeback to play after losing out on the T20I captaincy.
