Straw Poll: How do India use Rahul, Pant and Iyer in the ODIs?

Azweer : "ODI Giants are back in the team for India... Expecting one or both of them to score big runs in this series..."

Mustafa Moudi : "Fun Fact: If Rohit Sharma Scores 53 Runs and gets out, his ODI Batting Average would be exactly same as Virat Kohli's Test Batting Average - 49.15 !!"

The Indian players are wearing black arm bands in respect to the passing of former India player and coach Anshuman Gaekwad.

Vinod Rajpal: "It's the same month but the year was 1997 when SriLanka last beat India 3-0 in a bilateral series(almost 9840 days back)...i used to then follow the match with all class players like the little master SRT...Jayasuriya, Attapattu, Ranatunga, Ganguly, Dravid, Arvinda, Vaas and all !!"

SL 7 for no loss after 2 overs

JJ: "Everyone would be talking about Nissanka, but Liyanage is fresh off a hundred against Bangladesh. Would be interesting to see how he performs today."

Arjav: "Really liked the idea of going in with Axar and Washington both. Especially Washy, big vote of confidence in his batting. I feel he has all attributes to play at 5/6 for India. His white ball bowling is always good. Really want him to settle down in this role. Helps India big way."
