IND VS SL: Dream 11 Top Picks
Shreyas Iyer is an attacking top-order batsman capable of marrying classical shots with brute force. He has scored 662 runs in his 34 matches T20I career so far. He will be hoping to make a healthy impact here. And in his previous match against Sri Lanka, he scored 57 runs at a strike rate of 204.57.
Ishan Kishan is an opening batsman, he has smashed 189 runs at a strike rate of 118.12 in the last five matches T20I career so far. In his previous match against Sri Lanka, he scored 89 runs at a strike rate of 158.92 and became the player of the match. He will look to capitalize on the start in this match.
Pathira Vasan Dushmantha Chameera is quickly marked out as a bowler for the future. First among his virtues is pace, generated from a slightly round-arm action that sacrifices movement. Capable of consistently hitting speeds of over 140 kph, coaches believe he had become the quickest bowler in the country by 23.
Kariyawasam Indipalage Charith Asalanka is an all-rounder and one of the best players on his team. In his last match against India, he scored 53 runs at a strike rate of 112.76.
