Venkatesh Iyer: The Indian team will play a series of three T20 and three ODI matches against Sri Lanka at the end of this month. For this, the Men in Blue will go to Sri Lankan soil. Earlier, a bilateral series was played between the two teams in the year 2023. Then Team India had established its dominance.

Let's see which team will dominate this time. Meanwhile, a big news is coming out from sources. Actually, all-rounder Venkatesh Iyer is going to return to the team. Gautam Gambhir is going to give him a chance against Sri Lanka as soon as he becomes the head coach. Let's know the full news in detail.

Venkatesh Iyer will return to Team India

Team India's promising cricketer Venkatesh Iyer has been away from international cricket for a long time. He played his last international match in the year 2022. Since then the selectors have not given this 29-year-old player a chance again.

However, Venkatesh had a great IPL 2024. A lot of runs came out of his bat. This player won the tournament title for KKR on the basis of his batting. In such a situation, he may return in the T20 and ODI series against Sri Lanka.

Gautam Gambhir will give a big chance in the team

Gautam Gambhir, who was the mentor of the KKR team in IPL 2024, was recently appointed as the new head coach of the Indian team. Fans are now speculating that during his tenure, he will give opportunities to most of the same players with whom he worked in KKR.

In that sense, Venkatesh Iyer seems to be making a comeback on the Sri Lanka tour. Apart from scoring runs, this player also has the ability to take wickets at crucial times due to his middle-order bowling. In such a situation, the Indian team can show confidence in the ability of this all-rounder player.

This will be the program on Sri Lanka tour

India and Sri Lanka will play a three-match T20 series from July 27. BCCI has announced the schedule of the upcoming series. Let us tell you that earlier it was to be played from July 26, but now the Board of Control for Cricket in India has changed it and it will start from July 27.
