SL vs IND Dream11 Prediction

It is time for a new era as Coach Gautam Gambhir will lead the Indian side on his first tour with a new T20I skipper Suryakumar Yadav. The young Indian side recently defeated Zimbabwe 4-1 but the seniors, including Hardik Pandya and Axar Patel have returned for the tour. The Men in Blue will now look to build a new team for the next T20 World Cup as Gautam Gambhir and his troops are likely to be ruthless.
On the other hand, this series will begin a new chapter for Sri Lankan cricket as well after Wanindu Hasaranga gave the T20I captaincy. Charith Asalanka has been named the new captain and Sri Lanka have assembled a strong squad. The Sri Lankan Lions will be eager to get back to their best in the shorter format against the best team in the world.
