Team India’s selling power will be tested
Let us tell you that the selling strength of Team India will be tested on this tour, because Virat Kohli has gone without players like Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul and Jasprit Bumrah. The team will be captained by Shikhar Dhawan. Today for the first time he will captain Team India. 10 out of 20 players in the team are uncapped, so many players will debut. Talking about the Sri Lankan team, Dasun Shanaka has been given the captaincy of the team. The condition of the team looks very bad due to the absence of many top players. Angelo Mathews has decided to stay out of the series due to personal reasons. Kusal Perera and Binura Fernando have been ruled out due to injuries. In England, some players have been banned for violating the bio bubble.
