Pre-Match Analysis:
India are building their squad for the ODI World Cup which is less than 10 months away. They are fielding a full-strength squad for this series as the trio Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Lokesh Rahul making their return as they weren’t included in the T20I series. Jasprit Bumrah who was named lately in the squad has been withdrawn prior one day to the start of the series. It’s a selection headache for the management to choose between Lokesh Rahul and Shreyas Iyer for a spot in the middle order. Ishan Kishan who scored a double-century in the 3rd ODI against Bangladesh will be an automatic pick for the opening slot. Shikhar Dhawan wasn’t considered for selection after his dip in form lately. They lost their previous two ODI series against Bangladesh and New Zealand by 2-1 and 1-0 respectively. It’s a great opportunity for them to win the series against Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka played only 10 ODIs last year winning 6 of them, it includes a 3-2 series win over the mighty Aussies. Their record against India isn’t that great as they have a 1-4 win-loss record. Dasun Shanaka who has an impressive track record against India in T20Is looks to carry the same in the ODIs as well. The batters need to fire big if they want to be ahead of India in this series. All-rounders Wanindu Hasaranga and Chamika Karunaratne have huge roles to play. They are ranked 8th in the ICC ODI rankings.
