India begin their preparation for the World Cup as Rohit Sharma returns to lead the side. The ODI stars are back but their form is a concern as Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli both continue to remain inconsistent. Virat Kohli though did get a century in his last ODI. He still has what it takes in the format, and ODIs remain his best format as well. He will though want to build on his hundred. Jasprit Bumrah’s return to the squad is another significant moment.

Sri Lanka’s fortunes in ODI cricket has been decent. They too begin their preparation and will be relying on Dasun Shanaka, who is leading with example and doing a fine job with the bat, particularly against the Indian bowlers.

Dasun Shanaka
