As normal captain Rohit Sharma is as yet recuperating from a thumb injury he got during the new ODI series in Bangladesh, the Indian group will be going by pro all-rounder Hardik Pandya. Virat Kohli has also received a break for this series, which is notable. India will field a young team in the upcoming T20I series with the goal of qualifying for the ICC T20 World Cup in 2024. Sanju Samson will try to take advantage of the opportunity to demonstrate his strength.
The three-match T20 International series between India and Sri Lanka, which begins on January 3, is a surefire way for the Indian cricket team to kick off the new year. The captain of the team for the IND vs. SL T20 series is Hardik Pandya.
