The first match of the three-match ODI series will be played tomorrow (2 August) at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.

He also told who he would choose as wicketkeeper batsman for this match. Rohit Sharma gave this answer on the selection of Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul Captain Rohit Sharma, while answering this question in the press conference before the match, said how would he choose between KL Rahul and Rishabh? He said, “It is a difficult decision. Both of them are excellent players. You know the capabilities of both the players. When you have such quality, it is not easy to choose a team or player. Both these players are like that. They are match winners on their day. They have won many matches for us in the past.” Captain Rohit further said, “It is always good to have problems in selecting a team like this. You know, when you discuss a lot about who to choose and who not to, it means that there is quality in the team. So I think it is a good thing to have such problems and I wait for such problems as long as I am the captain.” From these statements of Rohit Sharma, it seems that Rishabh Pant may have to wait for now, because KL Rahul has been performing well as a wicketkeeper batsman for a long time.

I think this is a normal thing in today’s world and things get better slowly on their own. You can ask my parents, I have never even gone to a doctor for this. My condition has become such that I remain very sad and upset throughout the day, and for many days I do not move from one place, I just lie down all day.” “I just couldn’t get out of bed. Losing family members, losing some of my closest friends, so I think I was the one who suffered the most, but I think it was grief. I don’t know if it was depression or not. I never went to the doctor to get medication to take care of my sadness and depression.”

‘Only the engine has changed, the bogie is the same’ Suryakumar Yadav is the new T20 captain of Team India after Rohit Sharma
Let’s know what Surya said Suryakumar Yadav (Image Credit- Twitter The Indian cricket team is currently on a tour of Sri Lanka. Here it will be seen playing a three-match T20 and a three-match ODI series. The T20 series will begin today on 27 July, Saturday with the first T20 match to be held in Pallekele.

It is worth noting that after winning the T20 World Cup 2024, Rohit Sharma decided to leave the captaincy and the shortest format of the game. After Rohit left the captaincy of T20 format, it was expected that Hardik Pandya would lead Team India in this format. But the Indian Cricket Management handed over this responsibility to Suryakumar instead of Hardik. On the other hand, Suryakumar has now given a big statement about captain Rohit Sharma on his role in Team India. Surya says that just the engine has changed, but the bogie of the team is the same. Suryakumar Yadav gave a big statement about Rohit Sharma Let us tell you that before India’s first T20 match against Sri Lanka, in the pre-match conference, Suryakumar Yadav said about Rohit Sharma – First of all, every player’s dream is to represent India and perform well for India. That was my first dream. When everything is going well, you start thinking about how you can win a big tournament for India, how you can win matches. Then comes the second goal that if you ever become the captain of India, then it remains in your dream that if you become the captain of India, then how will you win good tournaments and against good teams. This was a dream of mine, whose box has been ticked. But I always think that what I have learnt from Rohit Sharma is that he was always like a leader on and off the field. He was not like a captain, there is a lot of difference between the two. He was a leader who would stand in the middle of the group and show people the way on how to play T20 cricket and win tournaments. So, that’s what I have learnt from him. The train will move forward, only the engine has changed, but the bogies are the same.
