Four changes for Team India in the final game
The men in blue under Suryakumar Yadav made four changes for the final game of the series at Pallekele. The toss was delayed by over 40 minutes due to rain once the toss happened Sri Lanka decided to bowl first.
India brought in Shubman Gill who had missed the last game due to a stiff neck and he will open the batting. Washington Sundar and Khaleel Ahmed came in for Axar Patel and Arshdeep Singh. Shivam Dube made his way into the team in place of Hardik Pandya and will be the leading all-rounder for India.
Suryakumar Yadav said at the toss “Would've liked to chase as well with the weather around. Becomes difficult for the bowling team to control the ball later. We have 4 guys resting - Hardik, Axar, Rishabh and Arshdeep. We spoke about the brand of cricket we want to play and it's about topping it up every game and being the best version of ourselves”
“We are going to bowl first. Looks like a dry pitch. There was a batting collapse, when the ball gets older it's a bit harder to bat. We have planned a little bit differently. One change, Wickramasinghe comes in for Shanaka” said Charith Asalanka the Sri Lanka skipper said.
