India’s Eyes Will Be On Winning The T-20 Series As Well, First T-20 Against Sri Lanka Today!

After winning the one-day series by 2-1, Men In Blue is now heading toward the t-20 series which is going to start today. The Sri Lankan team will also want to bounce back in the shortest format of the game by forgetting the 50 overs series. Significantly, the Young Indian team which is not playing with main players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah has shown their character in the ODI series by beating the home team. 

Now, Shikhar and co will have eyes on clinching the t-20 series as well. It will be interesting to see how management and coach will choose the playing XI for the first t-20i starting from today. Players like Devdatt Paddikal, Rituraj Gayakwad, and Varun Chakravarthy haven’t got any chance in the one-day series. There are high chances that any of these will get to play in the T-20 series.
