India is about to kick off a new chapter in white-ball cricket as they face off against Sri Lanka in a three-match T20I series starting in Pallekele on Saturday, July 27th. With Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli hanging up their T20I boots after the World Cup victory in the United States and Caribbean, Suryakumar Yadav is stepping up as the new captain for India in T20I cricket. And let's not forget about Gautam Gambhir taking the coaching reins from Rahul Dravid - it's a whole new ball game!
India is sitting pretty at the top spot in the T20I rankings, while Sri Lanka is holding it down at number 8. Charith Asalanka will be leading a strong Sri Lankan squad that's ready to give India a run for their money on their home turf.
