The second match of the 3 ODI series between India and Sri Lanka will be played on Sunday, August 4 at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. The first match of the series was a draw, so the second match is going to be decisive.
Both the captains will try to win this match and take the lead in the series. Some changes can be seen in the playing 11 of the Indian team in the second ODI. Rohit Sharma and Gautam Gambhir can put 2 players on the bench.
Pant can start the innings
In the first ODI, Shubman Gill opened the innings with Rohit Sharma. Gill could not do anything special and he played an innings of just 16 runs in 35 balls. In such a situation, his leave can be decided in the next match. Rishabh Pant can get a chance in his place. With Pant’s arrival, there will be a left-right combination in the opening. Pant is also in great form these days. He also batted explosively in the T20 series played before this.
Shivam Dubey may be out
Apart from this, Shivam Dubey may also have to sit out. In the last match, he did score 25 runs off 24 balls, but he did not return after finishing the match. In such a situation, Ryan Parag, who is sitting out, can be tried in the next match. Ryan is capable of bowling as well as batting. He also did wonders with the ball in the T20 series.
