After clinching a nerve-jangling first T20I contest by two runs, Hardik Pandya-led Team India would look to secure the series when they square off against Sri Lanka in the second T20I at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on January 05 (Thursday). Wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson was ruled out of the series on January 04 (Wednesday) with an injury and Jitesh Sharma was named as the Kerala batter's replacement.
The Indian T20 cupboard is brimming with talent with players like Ruturaj Gaikwad and Rahul Tripathi cooling their heels in the dugout. It is expected that both Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan will get all three games in the series and an impactful Powerplay will also give the batters coming down the order more confidence to play fearless cricket.
Shivam Mavi and Umran Malik are also expected to play the remaining two matches after both bowled exceedingly well in the India vs Sri Lanka, 1st T20I in Mumbai.
