New Delhi: Ahead of the second T20I between India and Sri Lanka, Team India's list of injured players has become bigger. Rituraj Gaikwad was not included in the squad after suffering a right wrist injury in the first T20. Now before the second T20I, Rituraj has been ruled out of the remaining 2 T20is against Sri Lanka. Earlier, Deepak Chahar was also dropped from the team due to Surya Kumar Yadav's injury. Team India is scheduled to play the last two matches of the T20 series on Saturday and Sunday in Dharamsala.
Team India can go into this match with no change. Rohit Brigade defeated Sri Lanka by 62 runs in Lucknow to win a big win in the first T20. In Dharamsala, India will now have to take to the field in a different condition from Lucknow, Kolkata, so there can be a slight change in the strategy. The pitch here can be helpful for fast bowlers. The Dharamsala wicket and the weather here can create a bit of a problem for the batsmen.
In the first T20 match, Deepak Hooda got a chance to make his T20 debut after Rituraj Gaikwad complained of injury. Team India has a plethora of all-rounders at the moment, the return of Ravindra Jadeja and the consistently excellent performance of Venkatesh Iyer in this format are also giving confidence to Team India for the upcoming T20 World Cup. According to captain Rohit Sharma, the team management is also looking to check Ravindra Jadeja as a top-order batsman.
Probable final XI: Rohit Sharma (captain), Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer, Sanju Samson (keeper), Deepak Hooda, Venkatesh Iyer, Ravindra Jadeja, Harshal Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah
