Ahead of the 2nd T20I in Pune, we look at India's probable playing XI.
Openers: Ishan Kishan will open the innings with Shubman Gill despite the latter's sub-par debut in the last game.
Middle-order: Suryakumar Yadav, Rahul Tripathi, Hardik and Deepak Hooda are likely to be India's batters in middle order.

Fast bowlers: Shivam Mavi, Umran Malik and Arshdeep Singh, are likely to be India's pace-bowling troika in 2nd T20I versus Sri Lanka.
