Ruturaj Gaikwad is the first Indian player who might be benched throughout the IND vs SL T20 series. Since Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill are part of the T20I series against Sri Lanka, Gaikwad might not be picked as an opener.

Gaikwad last played a T20I game against Ireland in July 2022. On the other hand, Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill have played for India in the recent series. Hence, they both might be preferred as openers.

Rahul Tripathi is another Indian player who might be benched throughout the IND vs SL T20I series. Tripathi has been part of many T20I series in 2022. However, he is yet to make his international debut for India.

Tripathi might face a similar fortune in the T20I series against Sri Lanka as well. He might be benched once again in all games.

Shivam Mavi is another player who might be benched throughout the IND vs SL T20I series. Mavi is an uncapped player and has only played in IPL. He is yet to play an international game. Since he has been picked in the national squad for the first time, it is highly unlikely that he will make his debut in the series.
