The second match of the ongoing three-match ODI series between India and Sri Lanka (SL vs IND) is being played today on 4th August, Sunday at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Let us tell you that in this match, host Sri Lanka has won the toss and decided to bat first. After this decision of Sri Lanka, the Indian team will be seen bowling first in the match.

It is worth noting that Sri Lanka had tied the first ODI against India. In the last match, KL Rahul (31) also could not show anything special. But despite all this, Rishabh Pant and Riyan Parag have not got a chance to play in the second ODI. In such a situation, the question must be coming in your mind that why are they not playing in this match.

So let us answer your question: This is the reason why Parag and Pant are not playing. Let us tell you that during the toss, captain Rohit Sharma said about Rishabh Pant and Riyan Parag not playing for Team India in the second ODI against Sri Lanka – We know what to do while chasing runs. You cannot always play with the same mindset, but one thing is that we have to play with complete freedom as a team. We are playing with the same team.
