IND vs SL 2023: Three Indian players to watch out for in ODI series
India are all set to lock horns with Sri Lanka in a three-match ODI series, starting January 10.
1. Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma is one of the finest batters that Indian cricket has produced. He has dismantled bowling attacks with his marauding bat and piled on runs for fun. The 35-year-old has featured in 235 ODIs and scored 9454 runs at a strike rate of 89.42. When it comes to the shortest format, he has scored 3853 runs in 148 games at a strike rate of 139.24.
Rohit has not been at his vintage self in the white-ball circuit of late. The Indian skipper had a miserable campaign at the T20 World Cup 2022 where he could manage only 116 runs in six games at a strike rate of 106.42.
However, Rohit showed glimpses of his old classical self in the second match of the recently culminated ODI series against Bangladesh, smashing 51* runs off 28 deliveries. Though the veteran batter’s half-century came in a losing cause, he would take a lot of heart from it. The Nagpur-born would be itching to put up a show with the bat against the Lankan Lions and make the ODI series his own.
