In a format best suited for the underdogs, Sri Lanka has a reasonable chance of going one up against an Indian line-up that looks less than formidable.
When the action in the three-match T20I series begins at the Ekana Stadium here on Thursday, the visiting team will look to exploit India’s weakened batting potential in the absence of Virat Kohli, Surya Kumar Yadav and Rishabh Pant.
With Kohli and Pant rested, the non-availability of Surya Kumar and Deepak due to injuries clearly places more responsibility on the batters.
