TIL Desk Sports/ India would be aiming to cap off their super successful tour of Sri Lanka with another ruthless victory in the one-off T20 International in Colombo, on Wednesday. Any other result than India’s resounding win looks highly unlikely, considering the visitors’ rampaging run in the preceding Test and ODI series, where they whitewashed the hosts 3-0 and 5-0 respectively.
The game provides India an opportunity to fine-tune team combination ahead of the upcoming T20 home series against Australia and New Zealand. In total, India would play nine T20 Internationals this home season and all contests will be a three-match series.
India are on an experimentation drive ahead of the 2019 50-overs World Cup and one player they could have tried is Delhi’s wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant, who was surprisingly not included despite Shikhar Dhawan flying back home to tend to his ailing mother this past weekend, leaving Ajinkya Rahane to open the innings in the fifth and final ODI and also in the lone T20 match.
