Sri Lanka vs India: Players who can make India Debut

The debutants to be are touring with a big squad and their chances of making a debut is as same as it could be with the main team. Devdutt Padikkal opens for RCB, and it would be tough for him to get a spot to play ahead of captain of the tour, Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw, who was looking solid in the half IPL. Whereas, Nitish Rana and Ruturaj Gaikwad can bat anywhere in the top and middle order and there role in the team can be changed as required. K Gowtham would probably get to play if Yuzi Chahal or Kuldeep Yadav both or one fail to perform. Chetan Sakariya has had a golden spell in this IPL, and deserves to get himself going with getting a couple of matches in this series.
