Team India: In a few days from now, Team India will play a three-match T20 series against Sri Lanka. The first match will be held in Pallekele on July 27. Both the teams have announced their squads for the upcoming series.

If we talk about Team India, then a bad news is coming for them before this series. Actually, according to the information received from the team management, a strong batsman of the team has been injured and is out of the entire series. Let us know in detail which player we are talking about.

Team India's explosive batsman got injured

BCCI recently announced the squad for the bilateral series against Sri Lanka. The name of one player was missing from the list. This is none other than Hardik Pandya's "enemy". Actually we are talking about Tilak Varma. There was a rift between the two during the last edition. Since then things are not normal between them.

This promising player has performed very well since making his debut for India last year. This decision of the selectors was criticized a lot on social media. However, Ajit Agarkar told during the press conference yesterday that this 21-year-old player is injured.

No match was played after IPL 2024

Tilak Varma has been away from professional cricket since IPL 2024. In fact, he suffered an injury in one of his hands immediately after the last season. He went to the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bangalore for recovery. During this time, the other hand of this Hyderabad cricketer also got injured. This is the reason why he did not get a place in the T20 as well as ODI series on the Sri Lanka tour. In his place, the team management gave priority to young batsman Riyan Parag and made him a part of the squad.

Team India is ready for the first T20

Team India will play the first T20 match against Sri Lanka from July 27. The Men in Blue are fully prepared for this. Suryakumar Yadav is going to lead this team. Let us tell you that this is going to be Gautam Gambhir's first series as head coach.
