The T20 series between India and Sri Lanka is starting from July 27. Team India reached Sri Lanka on Monday, July 22 for this series. With this tour, the journey of the new coach Gautam Gambhir is also starting in Team India. First of all, a 3-match T20 series will be played but the real wait will be for the ODI series, in which legends like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will also be seen. Now if such big stars will play, then there will be an expectation of centuries and both can do this amazing thing. Even if Rohit and Kohli somehow fail in this, it is certain that Team India will definitely score their century.
India's tour of Sri Lanka is not just important in terms of Gambhir becoming the coach, but it is also the beginning of a change in Team India. This change has happened mainly in the T20 team, but for now, the ODI team will have mostly the same faces who were part of the World Cup last year and will also be seen in the Champions Trophy in February. Out of these, Jaspreet Bumrah is resting right now, but captain Rohit and Virat are definitely returning.
Virat and Rohit have a great record against Sri Lanka. Both the star batsmen have scored a lot of runs and have hit many centuries. In such a situation, both of them are expected to perform well this time too. Even if these two do not perform well, Team India still has many excellent batsmen who have the ability to make the team win. Anyway, India is being considered a contender for victory in this series. Now if this happens, then the Indian team will score a special century, which no one has scored before.
Till date, 168 ODI matches have been played between India and Sri Lanka, in which Sri Lanka has won only 57 but Team India is close to a century. Yes, the Indian team has won 99 matches and with a win in the series, it will complete this century. India can become the first country in the history of ODI cricket to win 100 matches against a single team.
Australia is at the second place in this regard, which has defeated New Zealand 96 times. This means that it is certain that as soon as Gautam Gambhir arrives, a special achievement will come in the bag of Team India. 3 matches of the ODI series will be played on 2, 4 and 7 August. All these matches will be held at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.
