<p>The India VS Sri Lanka games are bound to go down to the wire. Over the years, the Lankan Lions have given India a good challenge in all the formats. But in the last few years, the quality of Sri Lankan cricket has gone down. The best victory for the Sri Lankan teams off-late was winning the Asia Cup 2022. The Asian Champions will now be taking on India. The India VS Sri Lanka games begin just after the new year. Here is a look:&nbsp;</p>

<h2>India Squad for Sri Lanka Series:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>The Indian team for the Sri Lanka series is yet to be announced. The BCCI is expected to make an announcement today. Here is a look at the predicted squad:&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Expected Indian Squad for the India VS Sri Lanka ODI Series:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Shikhar Dhawan,&nbsp;Ishan Kishan,&nbsp;Virat Kohli,&nbsp;Shreyas Iyer,&nbsp;KL Rahul (c &amp; wk),&nbsp;Washington Sundar,&nbsp;Axar Patel,&nbsp;Shardul Thakur,&nbsp;Kuldeep Yadav,&nbsp;Mohammed Siraj,&nbsp;Umran Malik,&nbsp;Rahul Tripathi,&nbsp;Rajat Patidar,&nbsp;Shahbaz Ahmed,&nbsp;Deepak Chahar,&nbsp;Rohit Sharma (Subject to fitness)&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Expected Indian Squad for the India VS Sri Lanka T20I Series:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Ishan Kishan,&nbsp;Rishabh Pant (wk),&nbsp;Suryakumar Yadav,&nbsp;Shreyas Iyer,&nbsp;Deepak Hooda,&nbsp;Hardik Pandya(VC),&nbsp;Washington Sundar,&nbsp;Bhuvneshwar Kumar,&nbsp;Arshdeep Singh,&nbsp;Mohammed Siraj,&nbsp;Yuzvendra Chahal, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma(C)&nbsp;Sanju Samson,&nbsp;Umran Malik,&nbsp;Kuldeep Yadav,&nbsp;Harshal Patel&nbsp;</p>



<h2>KL Rahul likely to be Dropped:&nbsp;</h2>

IMG IS SUBJECTED TO COPYRIGHT.</figcaption></figure>



<p>Word is spread that Indian vice-captain KL Rahul is going to be dropped from the T20I squad for poor performance on multiple occasions. The reason for this is the failure of Rahul to perform on the multiple opportunities given to him. Players like Ishan Kishan and Sanju Samson are waiting for their chances, which makes his case weaker. Hardik Pandya is likely to get the vice-captain's role. &nbsp;</p>

India VS Sri Lanka: India Squad for Sri Lanka Series. Schedule, Venue, Timings.?

india-vs-sri-lanka-india-squad-for-sri-lanka-series-schedule-venue-timings

<p>The India VS Sri Lanka 2<sup>nd</sup> ODI will be played on Thursday (12<sup>th</sup> of January). The first game was a one-sided encounter in favor of the Indian cricket team with Dasun Shanaka being the lone warrior from the Sri Lankan side. He has been mighty impressive in the past year. The second ODI will be played in Kolkata, which is a batter?s paradise. Here is a look at how the teams stand before the 2<sup>nd</sup> ODI:&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Indian Team Preview Before India VS Sri Lanka 2<sup>nd</sup> ODI:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>The Indian cricket team is high on confidence. This can be seen in the approach of the batters. The team is dealing with the problem of plenty. They have to bench the likes of Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan. Both these players are in the form of their lives. Ishan Kishan is coming off after scoring a double hundred. But that is the level of competition that the team has and we can do nothing but accept the truth. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma too had a good game. Both the veterans looked in solid touch and added the spice to the India VS Sri Lanka 1st ODI.</p>



<p>In the bowling unit, pace sensation Umran Malik is improving with their experience in international cricket. Yuzi Chahal is bowling well and so is Axar Patel. And ?Miya Magic? Mohammed Siraj is in a league of his own. He is giving India the much-required breakthroughs.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Squads:&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>Rohit Sharma (c),&nbsp;Shubman Gill,&nbsp;Virat Kohli,&nbsp;Shreyas Iyer,&nbsp;KL Rahul (wk),&nbsp;Hardik Pandya,&nbsp;Axar Patel,&nbsp;Mohammed Shami,&nbsp;Umran Malik,&nbsp;Mohammed Siraj,&nbsp;Yuzvendra Chahal, Suryakumar Yadav,&nbsp;Washington Sundar,&nbsp;Kuldeep Yadav,&nbsp;Ishan Kishan,&nbsp;Arshdeep Singh.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Expected Playing XI:&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>Rohit Sharma (c),&nbsp;Shubman Gill,&nbsp;Virat Kohli,&nbsp;Shreyas Iyer,&nbsp;KL Rahul (wk),&nbsp;Hardik Pandya,&nbsp;Axar Patel,&nbsp;Mohammed Shami,&nbsp;Umran Malik,&nbsp;Mohammed Siraj,&nbsp;Yuzvendra Chahal&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Sri Lankan Team Preview Before India VS Sri Lanka 2<sup>nd</sup> ODI:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/AXAR-1.jpg" alt="India vs Sri Lanka " class="wp-image-100777"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Dasun Shananka is in the form of his life. IMG SRC: BCCI.</figcaption></figure>



<p>The silver lining of the dark cloud in Sri Lankan cricket is their skipper Dasun Shanaka. Apart from Shanaka, it is Pathum Nissanka who has shown immense promise. The youngster has been a rock at the start of every Sri Lankan batting inning. But senior players like Asalanka and Dhananjay De Silva need to show more character and have to step up with the bat. With Shanaka?s effort, the Lankan Lions managed to get to 300, if the entire unit clicks, they can easily score 350+. Maheesh Teekshana may come in for the next game as spinners rule in the India VS Sri Lanka games.</p>



<p><strong>Squad:&nbsp;<br></strong>Pathum Nissanka,&nbsp;Avishka Fernando,&nbsp;Kusal Mendis (wk),&nbsp;Dhananjaya de Silva,&nbsp;Charith Asalanka,&nbsp;Dasun Shanaka (c),&nbsp;Wanindu Hasaranga,&nbsp;Chamika Karunaratne,&nbsp;Maheesh Teekshana,&nbsp;Kasun Rajitha,&nbsp;Dilshan Madushanka, Dunith Wellalage,&nbsp;Lahiru Kumara,&nbsp;Ashen Bandara,&nbsp;Nuwanidu Fernando,&nbsp;Pramod Madushan,&nbsp;Jeffrey Vandersay,&nbsp;Sadeera Samarawickrama&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Expected Playing XI: &nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>Pathum Nissanka,&nbsp;Avishka Fernando,&nbsp;Kusal Mendis (wk),&nbsp;Dhananjaya de Silva,&nbsp;Charith Asalanka,&nbsp;Dasun Shanaka (c),&nbsp;Wanindu Hasaranga,&nbsp;Chamika Karunaratne,&nbsp;Maheesh Teekshana,&nbsp;Kasun Rajitha,&nbsp;Dilshan Madushanka&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Predictions and Dream 11 Team:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/01/Mohammed-Siraj-min.jpg" alt="India VS Sri Lanka" class="wp-image-100973"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Siraj will also have a good game at Eden Gardens. IMG SRC: Wisden</figcaption></figure>



<p>The prediction is for India to win the game and seal the series. The best bowler for India will be Yuzvendra Chahal. He looked in good touch in the last game but the dew was making it difficult for him. The best batter from Sri Lanka can be Charith Asalanka. And the best batter from the Indian team can be Virat Kohli again.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Team for fantasy sports like Dream 11:</strong></p>



<p>Rohit Sharma, Kusal Mendis, Virat Kohli, Charith Asalanka, KL Rahul (WK), Hardik Pandya (C), Wanindu Hasaranga (VC), Dasun Shanaka, Yuzvendra Chahal, Mohammed Siraj, Mohammed Shami.</p>



<h2>Venue, Timings, and Broadcaster:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>The game will be played at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. The pitch is a batter's paradise with little help for the pacers under lights. In the evening, there is a lot of dew. Win the toss and bowling fist could be a smart decision. The game will begin at 1.30 pm. The official broadcaster of the India VS Sri Lanka series is Star TV Network. The Indian VS Sri Lanka 2<sup>nd</sup> ODI can also be seen on Hotstar. &nbsp;</p>
