India start a new era in T20 cricket. They have their full side and are starting the build up for the 2026 T20 World Cup after the retirement of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja under new captain Suryakumar Yadav.
Both teams have a new head coach with Gautham Gambhir and Sanath Jayasuriya starting fresh tenures as head coaches. Sri Lanka though has some concerns with some key players missing as Dushmantha Chameera and Nuwan Thushara find themselves out of the series.

Shubman Gill
Shubman Gill is far from his best in T20s. His numbers are not the most convincing to with the format seemingly past his style of play. Gill though is eager to prove a point and the selectors are putting faith in him as vice-captain.
Charith Asalanka
Charith Asalanka is the latest captain to join the merry go round. Sri Lanka though may have a little more confidence given his calm and composed nature.
India are favorites despite the new side and away game disadvantage.
