India vs Sri Lanka: Team India won the T20 series 3-0, and now the India vs Sri Lanka ODI series is all set to get underway on August 2. This will be a three-match series, and all the matches will take place at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.
Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, and KL Rahul are back for India, which will boost up the strength. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka also have some key changes on their team for ODIs. But India have a few exciting players in the ODIs who can make an impact in this series.
This India vs Sri Lanka ODI series is also important in order to prepare for the coming ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Hence, we will talk here about three Indian youngsters to watch out for.
Three Indian Stars to watch out for in the coming India vs Sri Lanka ODI series
3. Riyan Parag
Riyan Parag has a pretty good India vs Sri Lanka T20 series. He was used to his full potential and even bowled regularly in all three games. That shows that Gautam Gambhir and management want to use him to maximum effect.
Hence, if he gets a game, India might use him as a floater in the batting order and will ask him to bowl as well. Rather than T20Is, Parag can be a better ODI package because it’s gives freedom to take time and then express as a player.
2. Arshdeep Singh
The left-arm pacer has cemented his place in the T20Is for India, and he is a key bowler with new and old balls. That’s what will be his role in Jasprit Bumrah’s absence. Along with Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep will be bowling with the new ball.
He has played a few ODIs, and if he performs well here, India can groom him for the other two formats as well. Arshdeep will be a key bowler for India and will be a player to watch out for.
1. Washington Sundar
Washington Sundar played the complete series against Zimbabwe and won Man of the Series, and he played the last T20 against Sri Lanka and won the Player of the Match award. So it will be hard to drop him.
He is making sure that the management gives him consistent chances in the coming India vs Sri Lanka ODIs. He can be very good on the spin-friendly Colombo pitch, and then his batting is another aspect that India can pick him in their side.
