CRICKET
Star all-rounder Hardik Pandya will lead the side in T20I matches and then serve as Rohit Sharma’s deputy in ODI matches.
The Indian men's cricket team will try to make a fresh start in 2023 and keep putting up excellent performances on a regular basis after a roller-coaster 2022 in which India retained its dominance in bilateral assignments but fell short in multination events.
India will host the 13th ICC Men's ODI World Cup in 2023, making it all the more crucial for the team to complete all the tasks and maximize their chances of being the fourth consecutive host nation to win the ODI World Cup.
The Men in Blue will take against Sri Lanka in their first 2023 encounter. Three T20 Internationals and the same number of ODIs will be played during the series, which will take place in the first part of January. The 50-over game will be played in Guwahati, Kolkata, and Thiruvananthapuram on January 10, 12, and 15, respectively, while the three matches in the shortest format will be played in Mumbai, Pune, Rajkot, and Mumbai on January 3, 5, and 7.
India announced the squads for both white-ball series on Tuesday. Star all-rounder Hardik Pandya will captain the side in T20Is before taking over as Rohit Sharma's deputy in ODIs. The T20I series squad does not include Rohit, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, and Rishabh Pant.
India last played Sri Lanka in a T20I series in February 2022, winning all three matches convincingly, but Sri Lanka retaliated by defeating Rohit Sharma's team in the Super 4 match of the Asia Cup T20 tournament in September.
