The excitement for the cricketing world intensifies as India gears up to face Sri Lanka in the 1st ODI of their three-match series. Scheduled for Friday, August 2, 2024, the match will be held at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. This game marks India’s first ODI of 2024 and will feature the return of star players Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who have not played since India’s triumphant T20 World Cup 2024 campaign.
With a 3-0 victory in the recent T20I series, Team India is looking to continue their winning streak. The squad will face challenges, including the decision to select the wicketkeeper between Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul and filling the No. 6 spot with either Shivam Dube or Riyan Parag due to Hardik Pandya’s absence.
