Let us tell you that this month India has to go on a tour of Sri Lanka and on this tour, a 3-match T20 and a 3-match ODI series is to be played between the two teams. This tour is to start from July 27 and before that Rahul can be appointed as the captain of Team India.

Actually, according to a report by news agency PTI, Rahul or Hardik Pandya can be made the captain for the ODI series against Sri Lanka. Rahul can lead Team India in the ODI series and he can get the responsibility of captaincy.

Senior players will be given rest

In this series against Sri Lanka, all the big players including captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli can be given rest. Actually, all these players have been playing cricket continuously for the last few months and immediately after IPL 2024, they flew for the T20 World Cup.

The Indian team for the ODI series could be like this

Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sai Sudarshan, Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wicketkeeper/captain), Sanju Samson (wicketkeeper), Shivam Dubey, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohammed Siraj, Avesh Khan, Mukesh Kumar, Arshdeep Singh.
