Sri Lanka vs India, 1st ODI – Stats Preview

India will square off against Sri Lanka in the first ODI at the R.Premadasa Stadium, Colombo on Friday. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will return to action after the T20 World Cup glory and the veteran duo will be determined to deliver the goods.

With India having a star-studded line-up, it will be interesting to note their middle order. The Gautam Gambhir-led team management will definitely have selection headaches for the three-match series.

On the other hand, Sri Lanka’s middle order collapsed in all three T20Is against India, which led to their downfall. Thus, their batters need to take the onus on their shoulders and come up with a consistent performance in the 50-overs format.

Stats Preview:

Indian skipper Rohit Sharma needs seven fours to complete 1000 boundaries in ODIs.

Virat Kohli needs six fours to complete 1300 boundaries in the 50-overs format.

Axar Patel needs 11 runs to reach the 500-run mark in ODIs.

Rishabh Pant needs 10 fours to complete 100 boundaries in the format.

Sri Lanka skipper Charith Asalanka needs 82 runs to complete 2000 runs in ODIs. The left-hander also needs seven sixes to complete 50 maximums in the format.

Chamika Karunaratne needs 49 runs to complete 500 runs in ODIs.

Sri Lanka ODI Squad: Charith Asalanka (C), Pathum Nissanka, Avishka Fernando, Kusal Mendis, Sadeera Samarawickrama, Kamindu Mendis, Janith Liyanage, Nishan Madushka, Wanindu Hasaranga, Dunith Wellalage, Chamika Karunaratne, Maheesh Theekshana, Akila Dananjaya, Mohammed Shiraz, Ehsan Malinga, Asitha Fernando.

ODI Squad: Rohit Sharma (C), Ꮪhubman Gill (VC), Virat Kohli, KL Rahul (WK), Rishabh Pant (WK), Shreyas Iyer, Shivam Dube, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohd. Siraj, Washington Sundar, Arshdeep Singh, Riyan Parag, Axar Patel, Khaleel Ahmed, Harshit Rana.
