Digital Desk: India will host Sri Lanka in the first ODI of the three-match series on Tuesday (January 10) at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati after winning the T20I series. Rohit Sharma, who missed the current T20I series, will lead the Indian team. Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, and Shreyas Iyer are all back in the team. The trio was not selected for the T20I series. Hardik Pandya, who led the side in the T20I series, has been chosen as Rohit's deputy. He last played in an ODI in July of last year against England.
Umran Malik and Arshdeep Singh, who both played in the T20I series, are also part of the bowling department. Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj are the other pacers in the squad, with Shami last playing an ODI in July last year. The team's two spinners are Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav, but only one of them is expected to play in this game.
Meanwhile, Sri Lanka is a force to be reckoned with in this format, with Wanindu Hasaranga and Dasun Shanaka essential to their fortunes. Sri Lanka, like Team India, has a well-balanced squad and will be hoping for an upset victory in what promises to be an exciting match in Guwahati.
