SL vs IND: The Indian cricket team is currently on a tour of Sri Lanka. Here it will be seen playing a 3-match T20 and a 3-match ODI series. The T20 series has started today on 27 July, Saturday with the first T20 match to be held in Pallekele.

In the match, host Sri Lanka won the toss and decided to bowl first. India will have to bat first in this match. But for your information, let us tell you that in this match, four more Indian players including Sanju Samson have not been included in the playing eleven. Let us know why these players have not got a place in the first T20 match against Sri Lanka?

Because of this reason, these players including Sanju are not playing

Let us tell you that during the toss, the new captain of the Indian T20 cricket team Suryakumar Yadav said – This pitch looks good and it is okay to bat first. The brand of cricket will remain the same, the relationship I have with him (Gambhir) for so many years is special. In today’s match, Shivam Dubey, Sanju Samson, Khalil Ahmed and Washington Sundar are the four players who will not play. That T20 World Cup is history, and today we will start from zero, which is a new challenge for us.

You can guess from Surya’s statement that Sanju Samson and the other players have not been dropped due to poor form, but the management has shown more faith in other players instead of these players. That is why these players are not playing in today’s match.

Playing XI of both teams for the match:

Sri Lanka: Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis (wk), Kusal Perera, Kamindu Mendis, Charith Asalanka (captain), Wanindu Hasaranga, Dasun Shanaka, Mahish Theekshana, Mathisha Pathirana, Asitha Fernando, Dilshan Madushanka.

India: Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Riyan Parag, Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Siraj.
