🏏India vs Sri Lanka – 2nd T20 in Dharamsala 🏏 - Page 2

Rohit: We just want to have a score in front of us. As the game progresses, it's gonna get colder and colder, but we're prepared for that. It doesn't depend on wins and losses. We've been on the road for a long, long time and there are injuries. Players' welfare is also very, very important. At the same time, we want to give ample chances to the guys making it to the XI first.

Shanaka: We would've bowled first too. The wicket was under the covers for a long time because it was raining in the morning. There are a lot of areas [for improvement]. The top order needs to fire. Bunura Fernando and Danushka Gunathilaka in for us. Vandersay and Liyanage are out.

Rohit will most likely go with the same XI. There are high chances of rain playing spoilsport in the match

Ruturaj Gaikwad, who had been ruled out of the series opener with a wrist injury, has now been sidelined from the entire series. Mayank Agarwal has joined the squad as his replacement.

CricDude: "I started watching cricket when Aussies were dominating the cricket world. Irrespective of how people want it or how broadcasters want it, I want to see India dominate cricket like that. I am perfectly ok with dead rubbers, whitewashes etc., as long as India is winning."

Giridhar Paliya: "I want to see Ishan Kishan and Sanju Samson to open for India today. Maybe Rohit can slide down the order to accommodate Sanju."

Team India took a lot of positives from their win in the first T20I. Ishan Kishan looked uncomfortable against West Indies but came out all guns blazing against Sri Lanka in the first T20I, scoring 89 runs in 56 balls with 10 fours and 3 sixes. Shreyas Iyer held the #3 batting position well and displayed his impeccable finishing skills with an unbeaten 57 runs off 28 balls after starting off really slow.

I feel, Rohit should open the innings along with Ishan.

Then sanju should come 3rd

PcKay: "Sanju should play as opener/no.3 today, he can't prove himself without chances. "
