Suryakumar Yadav will captain against Sri Lanka

The BCCI has handed over the command of the Indian team to explosive batsman Suryakumar Yadav for the three-match T20 series to be held on the Sri Lanka tour. Let us tell you that he will continue to captain this team till the 2026 T20 World Cup.

However, this is not the first time he will be seen in this role. Last year, this 33-year-old player led Team India in the T20 series played against Australia and South Africa. So, he has a lot of experience.

Gautam Gambhir will keep these 4 players out

India and Sri Lanka (IND vs SL) will play against each other in the first T20 on July 27 at the Pallekele ground. Talking about Team India's final-11, Gautam Gambhir will prefer to play with three fast bowlers. Something similar was also seen during IPL 2024. This means all-rounder Shivam Dubey may have to sit on the bench.

Out of Akshar Patel and Washington Sundar, Akshar is likely to get a place on the basis of experience. Similarly, Sanju Samson does not have a place in the team if Rishabh Pant is there. At the same time, young batsman Riyan Parag will also hardly be able to play the first match. It is worth noting that he could not perform well on the Zimbabwe tour. Let us once again look at India's possible final 11 for the first T20 match.

India's probable playing 11 for the first T20 against Sri Lanka

Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant, Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Rinku Singh, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Khalil Ahmed and Mohammad Siraj.
