Sri Lankan Cricket Team is all set to clash against India for the 2nd T20I match at Pune. The visitors were in a state of shock as they lost the match by mere 2 runs. Indian Cricket Team’s scintillating wicket-keeper batter Sanju Samson has been ruled out of the T20I series due to a keen injury which is a massive blow to the team.

The island nation doesn’t have a promising record in India in T20Is as they are yet to win a T20I series against India. The visitors would rue the fact that they could have restricted India to below 150 after reducing them to 94-5 where they will have to work on their death bowling.

Steep Road Ahead for India

The debutant Shubman Gill looked a bit scratchy where he was in two minds about whether to attack or defend. The batter managed to score 7 runs in 5  balls where he struck 1 four. It was quite surprising that the management didn’t include Ruturaj Gaikwad, as the batter has been making tons of runs in the domestic circuit.

The management has a massive conundrum as to whether to include Arshdeep Singh at the expense of Shivam Mavi who had a dream debut where the bowler took 4 scalps and gave away 22 runs in his 4 overs spell. Arshdeep Singh provides variety to the bowling attack and we should not forget he played a pivotal role in T20 WC 2022.
