It is known that after Rohit Sharma was injured in the second ODI against Bangladesh, Ishan Kishan, who came in as the opener in the third ODI, scored a double century. Despite registering a double century, Rohit said that it is a bit sad that Ishan did not get a place in the final team, but there is nothing wrong with the composition of the team. The captain said that Shubman Gill has been performing impressively in ODIs for some time now. He is going to give him a chance in the first ODI.
Rohit praised Ishan’s performance and said that scoring a double century is a great achievement. Not being able to play him in the first ODI is painful. He said that Gill has been performing consistently in ODI cricket for the last 8-9 months.. That’s why he is missing Ishan. He said that Ishaan was not completely sidelined.
While Rohit and Gill will enter the ring as openers, Virat Kohli will bat at the third position. Suryakumar Yadav will bat at number four and KL Rahul at number five. For Surya, who has been labeled as a T20 specialist, the question is whether he will dare to sideline Shreyas Iyer, who has been in good form for the past year.
Hardik Pandya will bat at number six while Akshar Patel will bat at number seven. Mohammad Shami, Mohammad Siraj, Arshadeep Singh and Umran Malik will get a place in the final team. One of Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav will play in the first ODI. Even though Washington Sundar is also in the team, Akshar, who was the player of the tournament in the T20 series, is more likely to play in the Guwahati ODI. It is known that BCCI has announced that Bumrah will not play in the ODI series against Sri Lanka. If you try for batting depth… there is a possibility of sharing the responsibilities of pace bowling with Hardik… and playing Washington Sundar.
When it comes to the Sri Lankan team, captain Dasun Shanaka, opener Pathum Nissanka, Kushal Mendis and Charit Asalanka will be key in batting. Dilshan Madushanka, Kasun Rajitha, Lahiru Kumara, spinners Vanindu Hasaranga, Mahish Theekshana and Geoffrey Wanderase are other important players in the Lankan team.
Heavy scores are likely to be recorded at Barsapara Stadium and the snow will also have an effect. This will affect the final team composition.
