Preview :

6.37pmWe are in for another intriguing T20I series and it is the No.1 ranked T20I team, India who will be hosting Sri Lanka for three-match T20I series which is set to commence at Lucknow. Both these sides have been playing limited overs cricket recently and they will be well prepared for some action-packed T20 cricket. India have been brilliant off late in this format, post the T20 World Cup 2021 and the new skipper, Rohit Sharma has been sensational in the recently concluded three-match T20I series against West Indies which Indian won 3-0. However, team India suffered a huge blow ahead of the T20I series against Sri Lanka as both Deepak Chahar and Suryakumar Yadav have been ruled out due to injuries. Having said that, the return of Ravindra Jadeja and Jasprit Bumrah will bolster India's lineup and it also presents a great opportunity to some of the inexperienced young players to showcase their skills, especially this being a T20 World Cup year. The hosts have a very strong squad and players like Venkatesh Iyer, Ravi Bishnoi and Harshal Patel have been making a strong case for themselves. Also, we can see Sanju Samsonin the playing XI, due tothe absence of Suryakumar Yadav in the middle order. Rohit and his troops will be keen to carry on with the winning momentum and take this series as yet another opportunity to polish few areas as far as T20 cricket is concerned. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, are coming at the back of a 4-1series loss against Australia and they'll be looking to make amends and start strong against India. They have been well below par with the bat in the recently concluded seriesand certainly lacked experience. They have some talented young players in the form of Pathum Nissanka, Charith AsalankaandChamika Karunaratnebut the experienced men in the form of skipper Dasun Shanaka, Dinesh Chandimaland Danushka Gunathilakaneed to pull their socks up if Sri Lanka are to showsome resistanceagainst the hosts in this series. Also, when it comes to their bowling, apart from Dushmantha Chameera, they don't have much experience but the rise of their mystery spinner, Maheesh Theekshanahas been promising for them. They too, suffered a massive blow ahead of the first T20I of the series as their premier all-rounder, Wanindu Hasarangahas been ruled out of the entire series after testing positive for Covid-19 yet again. The Lankans have their task cut out as they face the in-form side in their own backyard and the opening game promises to be a cracker. Who will draw first blood?
