IND vs SL: Possible India Playing 11 for 2nd T20I

IND Playing 11: After a dominant victory in Lucknow, the Men in Blue will be eying to seal the series with another win when they lock horns with Dasun Shanaka-led Sri Lanka in the second of the three-match T20I series in Dharamshala on Saturday evening.

It was a walk in the park for the home side as Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer slammed the fifties to help India post 199 run total before Venkatesh Iyer, Bhuvaneshwar Kumar took charge with the ball. The Sri Lankans were poor in all three departments and have a lot of work to do to save the series.

Rohit Sharma is the mainstay of the Indian batting lineup. He looked in great touch in the white ball series against West Indies and missed a well-deserved half-century by six runs in Lucknow.

He scored 92 runs in 3 innings, picked up two wickets against WI, and is a must-have pick in your fantasy team.
