India’s new captain, Suryakumar Yadav, has already reached the venue with his young and talented batters, who will be looking forward to smashing the Lankan Lions in their own backyard. Some new players in the Indian team are extremely talented and have gotten a chance to prove their worth. This will be a 3-match T20I series where two matches will be played consecutively.

Let’s check out the three Indian players to watch out for in the first T20I game:
1. Suryakumar Yadav
The skipper of the Indian team, Suryakumar Yadav, will be the first player to look out for since he has been given a new responsibility and is completely new to it. He is a fantastic batter in the T20 format, and now that he has taken responsibility, he will try to improve his game. Moreover, he is a consistent run-scorer, and his involvement in the game will give the other batters the courage to play well.
2. Hardik Pandya
India’s best all-rounder of recent times, Hardik Pandya, is one such player who does his best in almost all the games. He likes going after the bowlers while batting and frustrating the batters while bowling. He’s a fabulous bowler who takes wickets in crunch situations, which builds the entire team’s confidence.
3. Shubman Gill
India’s opening batter and vice-captain, Shubman Gill, will be someone whose performance will be monitored by the management and the entire country. He was chosen over Ruturaj Gaikwad, who played well in the previous series. On top of this, Gill is also made the team’s vice-captain. So, he will remain under BCCI’s radar, and if he fails to perform, they’ll think of replacing him.
