Before the announcement of Team India for the ODI and T20 series against Sri Lanka, a big news has come out. Media reports are that after Rohit Sharma, now Virat Kohli's leave has also been cancelled. Both these players will play in the ODI series against Sri Lanka. If sources are to be believed, head coach Gautam Gambhir had asked both the players to be available for the ODI series against Sri Lanka. First Rohit Sharma agreed and now Virat Kohli has also agreed to it.

Holiday cancelled, now will play ODI series

Both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were taking rest after the T20 World Cup. Rohit Sharma is in America and Virat Kohli is in London. Both these legends have said goodbye to this format after winning the T20 World Cup. It was believed that both the legends would hardly play in the ODI series against Sri Lanka but Gautam Gambhir has included both of them in the team as soon as he became the head coach. However, Team India has not been announced for the Sri Lanka tour yet.

ODI series will be played in Sri Lanka after 7 years

You will be surprised to know that Virat Kohli has not played an ODI series in Sri Lanka for the last 7 years. Virat played his last ODI series in Sri Lanka in 2017. In 2017, Virat Kohli scored 330 runs at an average of 110 in the Sri Lanka ODI series, in which he scored 2 centuries and a half-century. Virat Kohli's strike rate was also 111.86. This means that once again Virat Kohli can wreak havoc in Sri Lanka. Anyway, he has no equal in the ODI format.

Well, the big news is that Gautam Gambhir has also taken a big decision regarding the T20 captain of Team India. It is being told that Suryakumar Yadav will now be the T20 captain in place of Hardik Pandya. But all these things will be clear only with the announcement of the team.
