The packed schedule for the Indian cricket team continues. Only recently have the Men in Blue completed a clean sweep over West Indies in both the ODI as well as the T20I series. However, that is now a thing of the past as the Rohit Sharma-led side is gearing up for the challenge against Sri Lanka which commences in less than 48 hours' time. The neighbouring countries are set to compete against each other in a 3-match T20I series followed by two Test matches.
The first of the three T20Is will be played in Lucknow and the team has already reached the venue. Whatsmore the members of the Indian team were even seen practicing prior to the white-ball fixtures with captain Rohit and vice-captain and pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah leading the charge.
While the first T20I is set to be played behind closed doors, fans will be allowed at 50 per cent capacity in the second and third T20Is which are to be played in Dharamshala. From here, the teams will travel to Mohali which is the venue for the opening Test match of the series. The final Test match, which is set to be a day-night affair, will be staged in Bengaluru.
