The duo will be taking the field when India go head to head against Sri Lanka in the upcoming 50-over series.

Team India made a strong start to their multi-format tour to the Island nation, clean sweeping the three-match T20I series. Under the guidance of new head coach Gautam Gambhir, the Men in Blue are expected to clinch the ODI series as well. Notably, this will be the first time that Rohit and Kohli will play an ODI match after the 2023 World Cup final.
