India’s newly appointed head coach, Gautam Gambhir, will lead the national cricket team on a fresh journey as they head to Sri Lanka for a highly anticipated tour starting July 27. This tour marks India’s first white-ball bilateral series in Sri Lanka since 2021 when Rahul Dravid took charge as the stand-in coach and Shikhar Dhawan captained a makeshift squad.

The tour kicks off with the first T20 International at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, where the teams will clash in a three-match T20 series, followed by a three-match ODI series. With the retirement of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli from T20 internationals after India's triumphant T20 World Cup 2024 campaign, the team will be captained by Surya Kumar Yadav.

On the Sri Lankan side, changes are also afoot as Wanindu Hasaranga has stepped down as captain, paving the way for a new leader. This series promises to be an exciting challenge for both teams as they test their new leadership and strategies.

Sri Lanka has appointed Charith Asalanka as their new captain. Asalanka takes over from Wanindu Hasaranga, who stepped down from the role on July 11. The squad for the upcoming series against India features a mix of seasoned campaigners and emerging talent. Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Janith Perera are set to bolster the top order. Avishka Fernando and Kusal Mendis will provide depth in the middle order. Dinesh Chandimal adds valuable experience to the squad. Kamindu Mendis is expected to contribute with both bat and ball. Dasun Shanaka and Wanindu Hasaranga bring all-rounder capabilities. Dunith Wellalage and Maheesh Theekshana will be key in the spin department. Chamindu Wickramasinghe and Matheesha Pathirana are among the pace options.

On the other hand Surya Kumar Yadav leading the team with a blend of seasoned and emerging talent. Shubman Gill, the newly appointed vice-captain, will open alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal, both of whom were in form during the T20I series against Zimbabwe. Rishabh Pant, preferred ahead of Sanju Samson in the T20 World Cup, is set to bat at three, with Surya Kumar Yadav following in the batting order. Rinku Singh, notable for his performances against Zimbabwe, may secure a spot ahead of Shivam Dube. All-rounders Hardik Pandya and Axar Patel, who shone in the World Cup, will aim to replicate their success, supported by off-spinner Washington Sundar. Ravi Bishnoi will be the lone specialist spinner, while the pace attack will be led by Arshdeep Singh and Mohammed Siraj.
