India’s countdown begins with the 2023 World Cup just nine months away. They host the tournament so these his ODIs against Sri Lanka and his next ODI against New Zealand are very important as they also try to perfect their personalities and combinations. It’s going to be a really interesting dilemma when it comes to choosing the first spinner. The Washington Thunder are doing well since their return, with Axar Patel and Yuzvendra Chahal joining the plan.
Will India settle for just two pacemakers to accommodate all three frontline pacemakers? Or will one of them give way to a third closest person? Another tricky question awaits in the middle order. KL Rahul will obviously wear gloves while batting in the middle tier, but will he be with Shreyas Iyer or Suryakumar Yadav? Suryakumar has been raging in Dreamland for the last few months. Those who are left behind can consider themselves unlucky. Gil had consistently led the series in Bangladesh, so choosing Shubman Gir over Ishankishan for the opening slot was the right decision. Now it’s up to him to protect his whereabouts.

Welcome to this live blog of his ODI opening. Hopefully there are crackers in the store.
