IND vs SL: India's best starting XI in T20I series
India will kickstart the white-ball series against Sri Lanka with the shortest format on Tuesday, January 3 and the action will move to the ODIs from January 10 onwards.
2. Shubman Gill
Shubman Gill has been a run-bank in the Indian Premier League. He has featured in 74 games and scored 1900 runs at a strike rate of 125.25. He was phenomenal in the 2022 season and scored 483 runs at a strike rate of 132.33. Courtesy of his stellar campaign for Gujarat Titans, he made a comeback to India’s ODI set-up.
Gill has lighted the international arena with his batting exploits this calendar year and has notched up 638 runs in 12 ODIs at an impressive strike rate of 102.57. Due to his consistent performances, Gill has kept himself in contention for the opening slot for the 2023 World Cup.
The ace batter has played the anchor role with perfection and shepherded the innings beautifully. Also, Gill has shown the aggressive aspect of his game on many occasions and took top-quality bowling line-ups to the cleaners. With the likes of Rohit, Rahul, and Rishabh Pant not in the T20I series against Sri Lanka, it will be a great opportunity for the Punjab-born to make a mark with his performances.
