On the other side, Shreyas Iyer will be the one competing for a position in India’s middle order.
Beginning on Tuesday at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati, India will begin their preparation for the One-Day International World Cup that will take place later this year with a three-match series against Sri Lanka. Even if Jasprit Bumrah, the club’s star fast bowler, is not yet game-ready, the fact that Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will be included in the team is going to be a major setback for them.
The player’s name was initially included in the updated squad for one-day internationals against Sri Lanka, but it was removed from the roster on Monday due to ‘health concerns.’ On the evening before the game, Rohit Sharma announced that Ishan Kishan will be warming the bench so that Shubman Gill could get a “fair run.” He will be hoping to get selected.
The following is a possible playing XI for India against Sri Lanka in the first one-day international:
After missing out on the Twenty20 International series against Sri Lanka, in which Hardik Pandya captained the Indian side in Rohit Sharma’s absence, the Indian captain will be making his way back into the squad. In addition to leading the club, he will aim to maintain some level of consistency with the bat.
Ishan Kishan will have to warm the bench for Shubman Gill as the latter is going to be Rohit Sharma’s opening partner, and it is Shubman Gill who will be opening the batting. There will be more expectation on Gill to do well in his upcoming ODI given that Kishan scored 210 runs off 131 balls in his most recent innings.
Virat Kohli: He currently has the second-highest amount of international hundreds (72), and the great Sachin Tendulkar is his lone competition for the title.
Before India compete in the World Cup, Virat Kohli would like to begin the new year having gained some additional energy and having completed more runs under his belt.
Suryakumar Yadav: The master is batting with a touch that is nothing short of exquisite. He had struck an unbeaten 112 off 51 balls, which was his third century in a Twenty20 International, in the most recent and deciding Twenty20 International against Sri Lanka. He will attempt to bring his scorching form into the one-day international format as well.
KL Rahul, who bats right-handed and keeps wickets for the team, is a strong candidate to replace Rishabh Pant at number five in the batting order. It is expected that Rahul will keep his spot in the team at the expense of Shreyas Iyer.
Hardik Pandya: The new vice-bowling captain’s skills will also come in handy, but for someone who missed more than a year due to a back injury in the lead-up to IPL 2022, it remains to be seen how many overs the skipper gets out of India’s premier all-rounder. Hardik Pandya: The bowling skills of the new vice-captain will also come in handy. Hardik Pandya: The bowling
The top all-rounder, Axar Patel, continues to show steady progression in his play with each new match. Even though he was already very good as an orthodox spinner, the fact that he has the potential to bat well is providing the team with a wonderful sense of balance while they are missing crucial player Ravindra Jadeja.
Mohammed Siraj, who bowls right-arm fast, has established himself as one of India’s most dependable bowlers with the new ball.
Siraj is an outstanding bowler due to the combination of swing and a decent level of pace in his delivery.
The left-arm bowler Arshdeep Singh did not have a successful Twenty20 International series versus Sri Lanka. He will attempt to put the failures of the second Twenty20 International behind him and regain the form that made him so successful in the past.
Mohammed Shami, an experienced pacer, will be tasked with the role of providing direction to younger players such as Mohammad Siraj and Arshdeep Singh.
Shami will also be seeking to put in a great performance in 2023 in order to maintain his position as a serious contender for a spot on India’s World Cup roster.
Yuzvendra Chahal, who bowls leg spin, will try to maintain his confidence in his game moving forward. When Chahal successfully tempts the hitters to go for the big shots, he has a good performance. He is an important member of the team and must perform to the best of his abilities.
