India has had an excellent performance so far in the World Cup 2023. Team India has won its first 6 matches and almost reached the semi-finals. However, the final seal on reaching the semi-finals will be given after winning the next match. India’s next match is to be played with Sri Lanka on November 2 at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Captain Rohit Sharma would like to maintain the winning streak and secure a ticket to the semi-finals by registering a big win against Sri Lanka. Let us see how the playing XI of Team India can be in this match.
Shreyas Iyer may be out:
Captain Rohit Sharma can exclude Shreyas Iyer from the playing XI against Sri Lanka. Shreyas has played all 6 matches but except the inning of 53 runs against Pakistan, he has not got any big innings from his bat. Especially on important occasions, he has been seen throwing his wicket away. The short ball has been his problem. Therefore, Ishan Kishan can be given a chance by giving him a rest against Sri Lanka. He will bat at number 4. Apart from this, there is no possibility of any change in the batting order. Rohit, Gill, Kohli, Rahul, and Surya will be seen playing in their respective order. Ravindra Jadeja will come to bat at number 7.
This bowler may be out:
After batting, captain Rohit Sharma can also make a big change in the bowling in the match against Sri Lanka. Mohammad Siraj can be dropped from the playing XI and in his place, Shardul Thakur can once again make a place in the playing XI. Siraj has not been effective in some matches. Therefore, Shardul, who is capable of batting along with bowling, can join the team. Wankhede is also his home ground. Apart from this, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, and Kuldeep Yadav can remain in the team.
India’s probable playing XI against Sri Lanka:
Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Ishan Kishan, KL Rahul (wicketkeeper), Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami.
