Team India are all set to begin their road to the ODI World Cup 2023 with their first outing of the new year against Sri Lanka. In Rohit Sharma's absence, who faces time out through a thumb injury, Hardik Pandya will be seen leading the Men in Blue.
The senior players like Virat Kohli and others have been rested, while all the seniors will be expected to return for the ODI series which will take place after the T20I leg.
Dasun Shanaka's side won the Asia Cup 2022 but faced the humiliation of bowing out of the T20 World Cup 2022, without reaching the Super-12 stage. Both India and Sri Lanka will be looking to kick things off on a positive note and thus a win would be on the agenda for both sides.
