    3rd ODI: Riyan Handed Debut, Rishabh Comes In As Sri Lanka Opt To Bat Against India

    By IANS News August 07, 2024 • 14:26 PM View: 906
    Sri Lanka: Riyan Parag has been handed his debut ODI cap while Rishabh Pant returned to playing the format after 20 months as Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat first against India in the third ODI at the R Premadasa Stadium on Wednesday.

    A win will give Sri Lanka an ODI series win over India for the first time since August 1997. Parag received his ODI cap from Virat Kohli minutes before the toss, and replaces left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh in the playing eleven.

    Apart from his middle-order batting prowess, Parag’s handy off-spin means India have a third spin-bowing option on a dry pitch. On the other hand, left-handed wicketkeeper-batter Pant is playing an ODI for the first time after November 2022, a month before suffering multiple injuries in a life-threatening car crash.
