India’s revamped lineup put forth a brilliant performance to win the T20I series 2-1 and extend their streak of T20I series victories. The ODIs, which are the more important white ball cricket format, should now take centre stage. The first One Day International, which will take place at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati, will pit India against Sri Lanka on January 10. The Indian ODI squad will alter slightly from the T20I group that defeated Sri Lanka in the series. After losing two straight ODI series, India will be on its toes and players like Virat Kohli, Kuldeep Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, and captain Rohit Sharma will once again be in charge of the team.
India defeated a young West Indies team in the lone ODI played here in 2018, easily chasing down a 322-point deficit against them. Six of the 10 wickets that fell during the game were to spinners, showing that there was support for the spinners. Early on, there shouldn’t be many swings available, allowing batters to start swinging aggressively after the first ball. After winning the toss, chasing might be the best course of action because dew is likely to affect the second innings.
