Predicted Indian XI for 1st India-Sri Lanka T20I

The road to the World T20 2016 has begun from January 25, and team India has started well by winning the series against Australia 3-0. The last time India played a World Cup at home which was Sachin Tendulkar’s last back in 2011 and, they gave Indians a reason to feel proud, to celebrate and to smile.

The last time India played a T20I match against Sri Lanka was the World T20 2014 final which Sri Lanka by 6 wickets but this time around India looks stronger and are playing at home and their confidence is sky high after beating the mighty Australians Down Under and you may see the same scorecard that we have seen at the end of Australia series considering the fact that Sri Lanka have come to India without their experienced players. Here, we look at the eleven players who would most likely be given the responsibility to make sure that India again wins and starts another series on a high note.

1. Rohit Sharma:

Following an impressive performance in Australia in both ODI and T20I series, Rohit Sharma will take the responsibility of opening the batting for India once again. He scored 441 runs in ODI series and 143 runs in T20Is in Australia and consistently gave India a good start and will be looking to repeat his performance in the upcoming series against Sri Lanka and also try to create and break many records as well. Recently he said that his best is yet to come and we all know the level of unpredictability with Rohit, he just keeps the surprises coming. In him India definitely have a stable yet dynamic opener.
