Indian Predicted Playing XI Against Sri Lanka: Team India will play the second match in the Super-4 of Asia Cup 2023 against Sri Lanka on Tuesday, September 12. In this match, big changes can be seen in the playing eleven of the Indian team. The biggest reason for these changes will be two consecutive matches, because the team finished the first match of Super-4 late night on 11 September, which was played on the reserve day. Now the team has to play the second match the next day. In such a situation, there may be changes in terms of giving rest to the players.
KL may get rest, Surya will get a chance
KL Rahul returned after a long time from injury in the Super-4 match against Pakistan. He played a brilliant century comeback innings. Rahul remained unbeaten. He scored 111* runs in 106 balls with the help of 12 fours and 2 sixes. After this he also did wicketkeeping. After returning from injury, Rahul underwent a thorough fitness test.
Now India has to play the match again today. Due to precaution, Rahul can be rested in the match against Sri Lanka today and Suryakumar Yadav can be played as a middle order batsman in his place. In this situation, Ishan Kishan will take over the responsibility of wicketkeeping.
The rest could be possible changes
Apart from KL Rahul, however, there is very little possibility of any other change in the team. The rest of the Rohit brigade can take the field against Sri Lanka with the old playing eleven. Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah may also be given rest and Mohammed Shami may get a place in his place. However, there is little hope of Bumrah being given rest because Bumrah has played a few matches after his return.
India’s probable playing eleven
Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah/Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, Shardul Thakur.
