************************************************************************************************************************************************************


India expected to miss Deepak Chahar and SKY for the T20I series. Predicted XI for India for the T20Is, at least the first couple.

Ruturaj
Ishan (wk)
Shreyas
Rohit (c)
Venky
Hooda
Jaddu
Harshal
Bhuvi
Bumrah
Chahal

Would be a decent enough 11. Only worry is limited PP bowling options. Bumrah and Bhuvi have to manage 5 of the 6.

Powerplay - Bhuvi Bumrah plus 1 over of Harshal.

Middle overs - Chahal, Jaddu and 1 more from Harshal + Venky and Hooda if needed

Slog - 2 Bumrah 2 Harshal and 1 Bhuvi
 

Migara

International Coach
SL has lot Wanindu Hasaranga due to some idiotic issues. He was diagnosed with COVID in Australia and recovered. Some idiot has gone on and done a repear PCR on him, which has returned as positive. Now it can be positive during convalescent phase. As a result he is out.

There are massive drama on non selection of Bhanuka Rajapakshe as well.

great knock from Kishan, apart from when Liyanage dropped him at midwicket when it was straight down his throat.
his timing has been superb, so quick to punish the short ball.

10 back to back wins in the T20Is now. Hopefully Dravid & Rohit form a solid squad admist all this bilateral bullying

I hope Samson can fulfill his immense potential.

Also interestig to see Jaddu bat so high. Wonder if they are thinking he can be the #6 in Australia.
 
Shanaka really didn't utilize his bowlers well after that initial burst. Kumara and Chameera should have bowled 3 overs each up front; Karunaratne should have come on immediately after to start the 7th over...

Samson batted with confidence after his initial nerves...he just looks so good when he's on song (Shai Hope)

Sri Lanka badly missed Hasaranga & Theekshana. Basically can understand why Shanaka had to hold both Kumara & Chameera off.
Sri lankan team has potential. Kumara Chammera Hasaranga Theekshana will be some attack in Australia.
So impressed with Kumara.. Rattled Indian team totally. Hopefully some more 90 mph stuff in Test series as well.

Also when Harshal's slower ones don't grip he is toothless.. Could go for plenty in Australia.
Still think we need Siraj to partner Bumrah & probably Deepak Chahar with the new ball to complete the attack.
