Can be made the captain of Team India

KL Rahul, captain of Lucknow Super Giants in the Indian Premier League, can be given the role of captain of Team India going on Sri Lanka tour. Rahul did not get a place in the team during the T20 World Cup, but in the ODI series, he can be made the captain in the absence of regular captain Rohit Sharma. KKR captain Shreyas Iyer, who was dropped from the team due to indiscipline in this series, can get a chance in the ODI team.

Virat Kohli can make a comeback

Virat Kohli, who has been away from cricket since the T20 World Cup, can return to the cricket field in the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka. Virat Kohli is currently in London with his family. In such a situation, he can join the team before the series starts. At the same time, if he is suffering from a heel injury during the ODI World Cup and regains fitness before the series, then he can also get a chance in the ODI series.

Team India's squad could be like this in the ODI series against Sri Lanka

KL Rahul (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Hardik Pandya (vice-captain), Shivam Dubey, Rinku Singh, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh, Ravi Bishnoi.
