India and Sri Lanka are heading off to an exciting class for a three-match ODI series starting on Sunday and all eyes will be on the young Indian side of their performance. The senior players won’t be available for the Indian side as they are in England for the five-match test series and Shikhar Dhawan was named the captain of the side.
India has selected a 20 member squad combined for both ODI and T20 series and this will be a big platform for the youngsters to show their potential ahead of the T20 Worldcup this year. Here are 3 Indian players who can end up as the leading run-scorer in the Sri Lanka ODI series.
3 Indian Players Who Can End Up As The Leading Run-Scorer In The Sri Lanka ODI Series:
Shikhar Dhawan:
Shikhar Dhawan has been the man in form and he has been doing really well in the last seasons of IPL which earned him the captaincy ahead of Bhuvneshwar Kumar. The left-hander is one of the prolific run-scorers in limited-overs games and finished as the leading run-scorer in the IPL this season.
The 35-year-old has been approaching the latter part of his career and he has an excellent record for India in One day especially with an average of over 45 as an opener. He is going to play an important role for India at the top being the senior batsman and also as the captain, and he is most likely to end up as the leading run-scorer in the Sri Lanka ODI series.
Suryakumar Yadav:
Suryakumar Yadav has been rated very highly in the domestic circuit and his IPL records have been too good to be ignored. His consistent scores earned him a maiden call-up in the Indian limited-overs side for the England series and he has impressed a lot in the few T20 opportunities he has got.
Suryakumar Yadav is yet to make his ODI debut for India and this will be the best time for him to get into the act straightaway. It is almost certain that he will get the most chances than others as he has been seen as a big prospect for the T20 Worldcup. This will make sure that he will get enough chances, and he will be looking to end up as the highest run-scorer in the Sri Lanka ODI series.
Manish Pandey:
The right-hander has played 26 ODIs so far scoring 492 runs at an average of 35.1 and it has been a long time since he played a match-winning knock. He is a quality batsman who can make it big in limited-overs cricket especially and he will be looking to get himself in the leading run-scorer charts in the series against Sri Lanka to get back his into reckonings.
