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

IND Playing 11: Having taken 1-0 lead in the series, India will face Sri Lanka in the second T20I here at R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo. India will be pleased with the way they started the series and will look to continue their momentum here. The slow pitch didn’t allow the batsmen to get a big score but the bowlers produced a scintillating performance to give the side a comfortable win. This will be a great chance for India’s IPL superstars to stake a claim in the T20 World Cup squad. In the head-to-head record in T20Is, India leads Sri Lanka 14-5.

Sanju Samson
Suryakumar Yadav
Ishan Kishan (wk)
Hardik Pandya
Deepak Chahar
Krishnappa Gowtham
Bhuvneshwar Kumar
Yuzvendra Chahal
Varun Chakravarthy

Prithvi Shaw and Suryakumar Yadav will look to get a big one before departing for England. The biggest concern for India this tour has been Hardik Pandya’s form. The finisher has struggled for timing and the big ground hasn’t helped his cause either. Bowling looks in good shape with Bhuvneshwar Kumar getting into the rhythm. Much will be expected from mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy.
