India Best Playing XI For ODI Series Against Sri Lanka: The three-match ODI series between India and Sri Lanka (IND vs SL) is going to start from August 02. This is the reason why today through this special article we are going to tell you what will be India's best playing XI for the ODI series.

Shreyas Iyer will return

Shreyas Iyer is going to make a comeback in the Indian ODI team. He played his last ODI match on the South Africa tour last year, which was also the first match of the series. The past time has not been good for Shreyas. He was even dropped from the BCCI's central contract, but now times have changed. After Gautam Gambhir became the head coach, his return to the playing eleven is almost certain. Also know that in the ODI World Cup 2023, Shreyas scored 530 runs in 11 matches for India at an average of 66 and a strike rate of 113.24.

Rishabh Pant will not get a place

Like Shreyas, Rishabh Pant is also going to make a comeback in the ODI team, but it is very difficult to say whether he will get a place in the playing eleven. Rishabh played his last ODI match against New Zealand in the year 2022. After this, he became a victim of a terrible car accident. In the past, he has played from IPL to T20 World Cup for India, but despite this, it is difficult for him to make a place in the ODI team. This is because KL Rahul is also present in the ODI team as a wicketkeeper and the top and middle order of the ODI team is also almost fixed.

22 year old player can make his debut

22-year-old fast bowler Harshit Rana may get a chance to make his ODI debut against Sri Lanka. Jasprit Bumrah has not been given a place on the Sri Lanka tour, he has been rested by the management. This is the reason why the doors of the ODI team have been opened for Harshit Rana. Harshit recently performed brilliantly in the IPL. He has taken 19 wickets in 13 matches in the IPL 2024 season. In such a situation, it is possible that he may be given a place in the playing XI in the absence of Bumrah.
