India vs Sri Lanka 1st ODI : clouds loom large over premdas stadium in Colombo as India take on Sri Lanka for the 1 st of 3 match ODI series against Sri Lanka from today.
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will be back in India colours for the first time since the T20 World Cup when the ODI Series against Sri Lanka begins today . Notably, Team india had whitewashed the hosts in the T20 leg of the series and the Rohit led Men in Blue would look to replicate the same performance in the ODI leg of the series All three matches of the India – Sri Lanka ODI series will be at the R . Premdas stadium in Colombo.
Team India would be hoping to the kinks in their opening playing XI as they look ahead at next year’s champions trophy. Meanwhile, charith asalanka led Sri Lanka would be looking to get back the winning momentum after losing 3 back to back T20 matches.
India predicted XI for 1st ODI :
With Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul back in the setup for ODI series, the playing XI is likely to remain relatively settled. perhaps the only confusion here is if coach gambhir would likely to keep trusting his instincts with riyan parag even in the ODI setup or bring Shivam dube back for the ODI setup.
