Actually, the thing is that, a great player of the team has been out of the IND vs SL series due to injury and now the management has announced another player in place of that player as a replacement.

This player was ruled out of the IND vs SL series due to injury

Just a day before the start of the IND vs SL series, a bad news was heard from the Sri Lankan camp and according to that news, Binura Fernando, one of the best fast bowlers of the team, has been ruled out of the series due to infection.

This player made a place in the IND vs SL series as a replacement

The Sri Lankan management has given an off-spinner a chance in place of Binura Fernando, who was ruled out of the IND vs SL series due to infection. The management has given off-spinner Ramesh Mendis a chance in the IND vs SL series in place of Binura Fernando. He recently participated in the Lanka Premier League and played brilliantly for the team. He plays the role of an all-rounder for his team and due to this his utility in the team increases a lot.

The performance was something like this

If we talk about Ramesh Mendis' performance, then his performance in T20 is not very good and he has played only 2 matches for his team. In which he scored 2 runs while playing for his team and took one wicket while bowling. But his recent performance has been very good and due to this he has been given preference over other players.
