Surya Kumar Yadav is ready to write a new chapter in Indian cricket history. The India tour of Sri Lanka will test his true leadership skills.
The Men in Blue are set to challenge the struggling Sri Lankan cricket team as the India tour of Sri Lanka kicks off on July 27. The two Asian teams will compete in a series of three T20Is and three ODIs.
Amidst much controversy and speculation, newly appointed coach Gautam Gambhir has shown great faith in “Mr. 360,” Surya Kumar Yadav. With the retirements of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, defeating Sri Lanka on their home turf will be a tough task for Surya.
However, in the series of three ODIs, the regular Indian team will return. Captain Rohit Sharma will be back in blue after the T20 World Cup final. King Kohli will also be seen roaring on the ground.
The India tour of Sri Lanka promises to be an eye-opener for Indian fans still savoring the T20 World Cup victory.
