India Predicted XI – 1st ODI IND vs SL: As with any long journey, India’s path to the World Cup starts at home. India lost to Bangladesh in the last match of the Twenty20 International series. The Indian cricket team, still smarting from their T20 loss, is putting all of their energy into preparing for the upcoming world cup. The first-ever One Day International will be played at Guwahati, in the eastern part of India.
Veteran Indian cricket stars like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will be urged to contribute to the home team. When Rohit Sharma needs help, he can now rely on his entire team. Pacer and Jasprit Bumrah are both team members.
The fact that he picked up their first game together is intriguing. For the last One-Day International, Bumrah will be a part of the starting XI. Since the One-Day International World Cup is being held this year, every remaining game is vital to the team’s prospects of making it to the championship.
India needs to decide who would open the batting with Rohit Sharma, Iyer, Shreyas, or Yadav, Suryakumar.
India Predicted XI for 1st ODI IND vs SL: Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli Return; Jasprit Bumrah Is Questionable
Is anyone else interested in working with Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Shami?
The fastest ODI double century ever was scored by Ishan Kishan, and ever since Shubman Gill made his ODI debut, he has been on fire.
You’ll have a hard time letting go of both of those. Shikhar Dhawan, the team’s designated left-handed batter and left-handed batter delivered. Dhawan’s departure from the Indian squad has opened the door for Ishan Kishan to take his position.
He has scored 638 runs in 12 matches since returning to one-day internationals. In light of the costs and advantages, we cannot recommend ignoring him. In 12 innings, Gill has hit for a total of 100 runs, 450 points, a batting average of 70.88, and a strikeout rate of 102.57.
Following his recent century against Bangladesh, Kishan is expected to replace Gill in the starting lineup. With Kishan, you’d also have a right-left combination at the very top.
When the lineup is set in stone, Suryakumar Yadav will be batting third and Virat Kohli will go up to his preferred spot, No. 3. Shreyas Iyer comes to the crease after the three all-rounders (Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, and Axar Patel).
Their opening pair of Arshdeep Singh and Mohammed Siraj will be supported by a single spinner in Yuzvendra Chahal.
India’s Predicted Starting XI for the Match
- Rohit Sharma
- Ishan Kishan
- Virat Kohli
- Suryakumar Yadav
- Shreyas Iyer
- Hardik Pandya
- Washington Sundar
- Axar Patel
- Arshdeep Singh
- Mohammed Siraj
- Yuzvendra Chahal
As the first One-Day International between India and Sri Lanka, what can we expect to see?
- India will switch up its one-day international batting order. Either Ishan Kishan or Shubman Gill will join Rohit in the opening pair.
- Virat Kohli will reclaim his No. 3 spot. Kohli has finally scored a century in a one-day international and will now try to make it seventy-three.
- Keeper-batsman KL Rahul will continue to bat fourth in his new role because of their similar fitness levels, India must choose between Shreyas and Suryakumkar.
- Hardik will return to the number six position in one-day international cricket after a six-month hiatus. As a Bangladeshi national, he was ineligible to participate in any ODIs.
- Spinners in Guwhati will need to give careful regard to the amount of dew present. So, India should put more effort into developing wrist spinners rather than finger spinners.
- Finger spinners will have trouble getting a firm grip on the ball and maintaining accuracy due to the dampness.
- Either Kuldeep Yadav or Yuzvendra Chahal will come into the match. This competition for the final spot will involve Washington Sundar and Axar Patel.
- There are three applicants for a single slot in the pace division. Mohammed Siraj, Umran Malik, and Arshdeep Singh will each have one shot at bat, while Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Shami will start at the top of the order for their respective teams.
The Indian ODI squad to face Sri Lanka:
Hardik Pandya (c), Washington Sundar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd. Shami, Mohd. Siraj, Umran Malik, Arshdeep Singh, KL Rahul, Ishan Kishan
