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.
4. Sanju Samson
Sanju Samson has been a bankable name in the Indian Premier League. He is a game-changer with the bat and has dismantled bowling attacks with his effortless power-hitting caliber. The 28-year-old has featured in 138 matches and amassed 3526 runs at a strike rate of 135.72. In the last season, he smashed 458 runs in 17 games at a strike rate of 146.79.
In 2022, the wicketkeeper-batter has been exceptional in the international arena. Samson has played 10 ODIs and scored 284 runs at a strike rate of 105.57. In the T20Is, he has scored 179 runs at a superb strike rate of 158.40.
Samson has made the most of the opportunities that have come his way and would look to do the same when India take the stage alongside Sri Lanka for a three-match T20I series. The ace batter is an excellent player of both pace and spin and has all the potential in the world to thrive against the Lankan Lions.
