SL vs IND Playing XI 1st T20: Team India’s playing XI for the first T20 match could be something like this

Suryakumar will not have much difficulty in selecting the batsmen in the first T20 match against Sri Lanka. Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal will definitely open the innings. Apart from this, Rishabh Pant can bat at number three. Captain Suryakumar Yadav himself will take the responsibility of batting at number four. However, Surya may face difficulty in selecting Riyan Parag and Rinku Singh.

Rinku Singh is continuously making a splash in T20 cricket. On the other hand, Riyan Parag was able to capitalize on the opportunity he got on the Zimbabwe tour. One favor with Riyan is that he also bowls. On the other hand, both Riyan and Rinku are equal in fielding. On the other hand, if we talk about the middle order, then all-rounder Hardik Pandya is sure to play. On the other hand, Shivam Dubey will definitely be considered. Due to the absence of Ravindra Jadeja, Patel will often be seen as a spin all-rounder.

Apart from this, either Washington Sundar or Ravi Bishnoi can be given a chance as a spinner. Talking about fast bowling, out of Arshdeep Singh, Mohammad Siraj and Khalil Ahmed, Arshdeep and Siraj are almost certain to play while Khalil may have to wait for his turn. Team India also has the option of two more fast bowlers along with Hardik and Shivam Dubey.
