The T20 series on the Sri Lanka tour has been decided. Team India has won it. However, one more match of the T20 series is yet to be played, which will be on July 30. Meanwhile, a news is coming out about 6 Indian players, who will be seen practicing separately from Team India in Sri Lanka. The reason behind the separate practice of those 6 Indian players is related to another big mission of coach Gautam Gambhir. Actually, all those players practicing for the ODI series are part of the ODI series.
