The Indian cricket team is gearing up for another exciting challenge as they head to Sri Lanka for a white-ball series in late July. This India vs Sri Lanka white-ball series, featuring three T20 Internationals and three ODIs, follows a demanding IPL 2024 and the T20 World Cup.
The action starts on July 27 with the first T20I, followed by matches on the 28th and 30th. The ODI series begins on August 2, with additional games on the 4th and 7th. Fans can catch all the live action on Sony Sports Network and stream it on SonyLiv.
Will Rohit & Kohli Play Against Sri Lanka?
As the India vs Sri Lanka series approaches, fans are buzzing with excitement. However, there’s uncertainty about whether veteran players Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will participate. After a grueling schedule with the IPL and the World Cup, these key players might take a well-deserved break. Alongside them, Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, and Ravindra Jadeja are also expected to sit out the T20Is against Zimbabwe.

With Shubman Gill showcasing his leadership skills in the five-match T20I series against Zimbabwe, the Sri Lanka series might see a similar strategy, giving senior players a break and introducing fresh talent. Sri Lanka will be eager to exploit any signs of fatigue in the Indian team, especially after their disappointing T20 World Cup 2024 campaign, where they failed to secure a spot in the Super Eight.
