India vs SL 1st T20 @ Pallekele on 27th July 7pm IST - Page 4

Suryakumar Yadav: It looks good and it is fine to bat first. The brand of cricket remains the same. The relationship me and him have had for so many years is special. That is history, we start from scratch and it is a new challenge.

Sri Lanka have won the toss and have opted to field

Charith Asalanka: We are going to bowl first. It looks like a pretty good pitch and we want to see how it goes. We are going with 6-5 combination. I want to give every player a specific roles and that;s why we are going with 5 bowlers.

Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to field.

SKY walks out for his first toss as permanent India captain. SL skipper Asalanka wins the toss, though, and opts to bowl first on a fresh pitch.

Suryakumar Yadav: It (the pitch) looks good and it is fine to bat first. The brand of cricket remains the same. The relationship me and him (Gambhir) have had for so many years is special. Dube, Samson, Khaleel and Washington are the four players to miss out. That (World Cup) is history, we start from scratch and it is a new challenge.

Charith Asalanka: We are going to bowl first. It looks like a pretty good pitch and we want to see how it goes. We are going with 6-5 (batters-bowlers) combination. I want to give every player a specific roles and that;s why we are going with 5 bowlers. You can expect more wins and more consistency.

All the best Team India

Why gill in d team , doesn’t fit in t20 format . He will not play n not let others play . Saw in Zimbabwe match . gill already acting like Kohli lol , slow sr n didn’t let Jaiswal make his century . Take Sai sudharshan or Nitish reddy instead of dis gill .

The players are lining up for the national anthems. Teams batting second seemed to have a pretty serious advantage at the LPL, but that was with the Power Surge (only four fielders outside the circle) late in each innings, as Fidel reminds us. Also, it's time for me to hand over the controls to Shashank.

Vishal : "Can't believe they left out Dube when they need a destroyer of spin in this match."
