The series against Sri Lanka comes after the ODI and Test series against Bangladesh. Captain Rohit Sharma is in doubt to play against Sri Lanka after injuring his finger while fielding in the second ODI series against Bangladesh.
Young opener Umran Malik will also make his Test debut as Rohit’s replacement in the Test series.
Fans are looking forward to see if Malayalee player Sanju Samson, who did not get a place in the team for the series against Bangladesh, will get a place in the team for the series against Sri Lanka. Wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant, who was in the team for the series against Bangladesh, was left out of the team due to an injury. In this situation, KL Rahul is playing the role of wicket keeper against Bangladesh. If given an opportunity in the ODI series against Sri Lanka, Sanju will get a chance to play at home in Thiruvananthapuram.
Congratulations, but…; Rohit Sharma’s heroic fight, Sunil Gavaskar praises and criticizes
