In the ODI format, the major players resume play. Hardik Pandya will serve as his deputy, and Rohit Sharma will lead the charge. Check out Dream11’s top fantasy picks for the IND vs. SL matchup.
India will begin the Mission ODI World Cup with a series against Sri Lanka. Rohit Sharma wants to find the 11 best players from the three ODIs with 17 matches to go before the big event. Suryakumar Yadav hasn’t hit the straps, so middle order is a big concern. It’s likely that KL Rahul will get another shot in the middle order.
