India Key Players For ODIs

Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli is among the top 10 batters in the ODI format in ICC rankings. Kohli has an average of 57.47 in ODI and has smashed 12,000+ runs. His form in this series will be crucial for the upcoming ICC World Cup.

Kuldeep Yadav

Kuldeep Yadav is eyeing on his comeback to the team. He has recently picked a 5-wicket haul in the red-ball cricket and on the Indian soil, he can be a game-changer player. Kuldeep has picked 119 wickets in 73 ODIs.

Umran Malik

We are backing this speedster as a key player for this bilateral series. Umran Malik has to work on his line and length to bring his pace at its peak advantage. He has played 5 ODIs so far in which he has picked 7 wickets.

Hardik Pandya

The star all-rounder has all eyes on him as he needs to bring his form back with both bat and ball. Pandya has played 66 ODIs so far in which he has picked 63 wickets and scored 1386 runs.

India Key Players for T20Is

Suryakumar Yadav

Suryakumar Yadav is currently the no.1 T20I batsman in the ICC rankings. In the T20Is, Suryakumar has scored 1408 runs in 42 matches at an average of 44.00.

Ishan Kishan

Ishan Kishan is certainly a key player for the Indian T20I squad as he can be a reliable top-order batsman and he has been in good shape as we witnessed his double century in the ODI recently where he played some brilliant shots.

Yuzvendra Chahal

Everyone is aware of Yuzi Chahal’s magic in this format. When he has the ball in his control then it becomes difficult for the batters to smash him out of the park. He is also the highest wicket taker in the all international matches for India in 2022 which speaks for his form. In 71 T20Is, Chahal has picked 87 wickets.

Arshdeep Singh

Arshdeep Singh has been performing pretty well since his debut in international T20 and the management is certainly ripping him up for the next T20 World Cup. In 21 T20Is, Arshdeep has picked 33 wickets at an average of 18.12.

India vs Sri Lanka 2023 Series Predictions

Sri Lanka has a poor record on the Indian pitches. It will be difficult for them to pull off series victories here but they can certainly win a few matches in both the series. With the home pitch advantage and in-form squad, we are backing India to win both the series.
