So, during this tour of the Indian team, a big statement has come from Sairaj Bahutule, who is playing the role of interim bowling coach for this tour. Bahutule has also described the batsmen of the Indian team as good bowlers. It is worth noting that a three-match ODI series is currently going on between India and Sri Lanka. While Shubman Gill was seen bowling in the first ODI match, Rinku Singh and new T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav were also seen bowling in the third T20 match. Sairaj Bahutule gave a big statement Let us tell you that after the end of the first ODI match between India and Sri Lanka on August 2, Sairaj Bahutule said during the post-match, as quoted by India Today – I think our batsmen are also good bowlers. Their first skill is batting, so they do not focus much on bowling, but they have the skill, the more they practice, the better they will do. Bahutule further said- We saw this during the T20 series, the way Rinku Singh and Suryakumar Yadav played an important role in the team’s victory by contributing in bowling. Similarly, Shubman Gill was given the ball in this ODI match. Seeing this, it seems that in the coming time it is going to be completely an all-rounder’s game. On the other hand, if we tell you about the ongoing three-match ODI series between India and Sri Lanka, the first ODI match has ended in a tie. Now the second match between the two teams will be played on Sunday, 4th August at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. It will be interesting to see which team wins this match?
IND vs SL: Morne Morkel will not go on Sri Lanka tour with Team India, this former player will be the interim bowling coach

Team India will be seen playing a three-match T20 and a three-match ODI series on this tour. India’s tour will begin with the T20 series starting from July 27. However, before the start of this tour of India, a big news has come out for the Men in Blue. According to media reports of Cricbuzz, Morne Morkel will not be able to go with Team India on this tour. So for this, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has made a temporary arrangement and appointed Sairaj Bahutule, associated with the National Cricket Academy (NCA), as the interim coach of the team for this tour. It is worth noting that the formalities for Morkel to become the new bowler of the Indian cricket team are almost complete, but his appointment has not been done yet. Due to this, he will not be able to go on the Sri Lanka tour with Team India. However, there is every possibility of him joining the Indian cricket team before the two-match Test series against Bangladesh in September. So, if we tell you the reason for Morkel not being able to join the team at this time, then he will not be able to join the Indian cricket team for the Sri Lanka tour due to personal reasons. Bahutule will be part of the coaching staff led by Gautam Gambhir, and it is likely that either Abhishek Nair or Ryan ten Doeschate will be seen as assistant coaches on the tour.
