Live Cricket Streaming – India vs Sri Lanka Live – IND vs SL Live Today | Sky Sports Live Team India will unofficially start their preparations for the World T20 when they take on Sri Lanka in the three-match series opener at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium on Sunday.
The Men in Blue, who enjoyed a brief break, are coming into this contest on the back of T20I series victories against Bangladesh and Sri Lanka respectively and thus would be brimming with confidence.
As the series has been sandwiched between the Australia ODIs and the New Zealand tour thereafter, the three T20Is against Sri Lanka might not attract that much attention as expected during the matches played at home.
pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah who will be making his return to international cricket. Bumrah has been out of action after India’s tour of the Sri Lanka in July-August due to a stress fracture on his back and thus would be rearing to go and perform for the team.
The 26-year-old has also been included in the ODI squad for the three-match series against Australia, which will take place after the T20Is against Sri Lanka.
Another important area of focus for the hosts during the three T20Is would be the form of Shikhar Dhawan.
Dhawan, like Bumrah, was not part of the Sri Lanka series after he hurt his knee during the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. The left-handed opener was not at his absolute best in the T20I series against Bangladesh and faced criticism from several quarters.
