Preview :

The highly anticipated ODI series between Sri Lanka and India is set to kick off in Colombo on August 2. With all three matches scheduled in the capital city of Sri Lanka, the series will conclude on August 7, with the second ODI set for August 4.

Sri Lanka is in major trouble as they were in a complete mess during the T20 series. The hosts will eye a positive start to the ODI series against India.
After the early exit of the team from the T20 World Cup 2024, the team has been through multiple changes with Wanindu Hasaranga leaving the captaincy and Charith Asalanka becoming the new leader of the team. He will have Avishka Fernando, Pathum Nissanka, and Kusal Mendis as the options for the top-order batting unit. The trio will be expected to give the team a solid start in the early overs. Akila Dananjaya and Kamindu Mendis will be part of the middle order and the dup will also play the role of allrounders in the team. On the bowling front, Sri Lanka will be mostly dependent on Maheesh Theekshana. Maheesh Theekshana has shown a positive form when it comes to the ODI formats. Dilshan Madushanka, Matheesha Pathirana, and Dunith Wellalage are also part of the bowling unit.

India has maintained their dominance in the T20 format. The time has come for the visitors to achieve the same dominance in the ODI games as well.
Team India is coming to play the ODI series after multiple changes in the squad and team management. This will be Gautam Gambhir’s first ODI series as the coach of the team and it also marks the return of skipper Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. The duo are not seen in action since the T20 World Cup triumph. India will also see the return of Shreyas Iyer & KL Rahul in the team. Iyer has been absent from international cricket since January 2024 and will be in the spotlight. On the bowling front, Jasprit Bumrah is taking a much-deserved holiday right and hence in his absence, the team will be dependent on Arshdeep Singh and Mohammed Siraj. Khaleel Ahmed and Harshit Rana are also part of the bowling unit.
