In Cricket, India will lock horns with Sri Lanka in the opening match of the three-match T20I series at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, Pallekele in Sri Lanka today. The match will start at 7 pm IST.

Following their T20 World Cup triumph in June, India saw Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja retire from the format on a high, while Rahul Dravid also bid adieu. Now under a new captain in Suryakumar Yadav and a new head coach in Gautam Gambhir, India are formally kick-starting their next era.

On the other hand, Sri Lanka are also venturing into a new era, with Charith Asalanka as captain and Sanath Jayasuriya as the interim coach.

The firm focus of this short series will be on Suryakumar as the captain, who has led India in seven matches in an interim capacity previously.
