India vs Sri Lanka: A confident team India who clean swept West Indies recently made an easy job out of their contest against Sri Lanka in the 1st T20I and registered a 62-run with Sri Lanka missing their three key players - Hasaranga, Kusal Mendis & Theekshana. And that's not all, Sri Lankan team has now received a double blow ahead of the 2nd T20I against India, as 2 Lankan players have been ruled out of the series due to injury.
Both the teams are suffering from injuries-related problems this series. Ahead of the second T20I, Lankan mystery spinner Maheesh Theekshana has been ruled out of the entire series due to a hamstring-related injury.
While #1 ranked all-rounder in T20Is, Wanindu Hasaranga is still awaiting a negative covid report in Australia, and hence will not be able to play a single match in the ongoing T20I series against India. While talking about the Indian team, Deepak Chahar and Suryakumar Yadav were ruled out of the series prior to the start owing to injuries. Moreover, Ruturaj Gaikwad who finally got an opportunity in the last T20I against West Indies was benched in the 1st T20I against Sri Lanka owing to a wrist injury prior to the match.
