IND v SL: Fantasy XI:

• Wicket-keepers - Ishan Kishan, Dinesh Chandimal, Sanju Samson
• Batters - Rohit Sharma, Pathum Nissanka, Charith Asalanka
• All-rounders - Venkatesh Iyer, Chamika Karunaratne
• Bowlers - Harshal Patel, Jasprit Bumrah, Dushmantha Chameera

India vs Sri Lanka, Preview: 

The Indians are coming off with a fantastic series win vs West Indies. Some new players are coming in, who are likely to be experimented in this series like Sanju Samson. Since Ishan Kishan got three games last series, there is a possibility of Samson getting chances this series. 

Jasprit Bumrah will be back along with Ravindra Jadeja. Mohammad Siraj didn't get any game last series and could play here or India might continue with Avesh Khan, who made his debut in the 3rd T20I vs WI. 

Sri Lanka although lost the Australia series but won the final game and will come to India with some sort of confidence. The batting didn't work well but Pathum Nissanka was the highest run-getter against Australia and will be the key player for them in this series as well. Watch out for Chamika Karunaratne and Dushmantha Chameera in this series. 

IND v SL: Probable Playing XI:

• India - Rohit Sharma, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shreyas Iyer, Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan Venkatesh Iyer, Ravindra Jadeja, Harshal Patel, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj/Avesh Khan, Ravi Bishnoi 
• Sri Lanka - Pathum Nissanka, Danushka Gunathilaka, Kamil Mishara (WK), Dinesh Chandimal, Charith Asalanka, Dasun Shanaka (C), Chamika Karunaratne, Jeffrey Vandersay, Praveen Jayawickrama, Dushmantha Chameera, Lahiru Kumara
