The first T20I between India and Sri Lanka in Guwahati was abaღndoned due to the rain and thereby a damp pitch🐼.
The second contest of the three-match T20I series will be played at the Holkar stadium in Indore. Both the teams would 𝓀be looking forward to taking a lead by winning this game.
Fans must be waiting desperately to see Jasprit Bumrah firing up as he returns to the Indian squad after a four-month absence due to a stress fracture. Team India’s focus will be on opener Shikhar Dhawan who is also returning from an injury.
This will be an exce𝓰llent opportunity for Dhawan as Rohit Sharma has been rested for the series.
