India vs Sri Lanka: India will be playing on three straight days after the weather sent their match against Pakistan to a reserve day, in the Asia Cup 2023. At the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Tuesday, Dasun Shanaka’s Sri Lanka will square up against Rohit Sharma’s team.
India vs Sri Lanka
Less than 24 hours after defeating Pakistan by 228 runs, India is likely to rest a couple of their key players against Sri Lanka. KL Rahul, who made his comeback with a sublime century and also donned the gloves, and Jasprit Bumrah, who bowled wonderfully effectively against Pakistan, may be rested for Sri Lanka’s encounter.
The team management will be wary of resting a few players and using others who need playing time to try and earn their stripes before the major competition in India next month. The World Cup is almost approaching.

Will Rohit score a big one today in India vs Sri Lanka?
India will play again at the Asia Cup 2023, taking on the reigning champions Sri Lanka, just a few hours after defeating Pakistan by 228 runs. But they require a huge catch from their leader. Here are Rohit Sharma’s most recent seven ODI innings for the Asia Cup:
56 (49) against PAK; 74* (59) against NEP; 11 (22) against PAK; 48 (55) against BAN; 111* (119) against PAK; 83* (104) against BAN; 52 (39) against PAK
Rahul is anticipated to play in India vs Sri Lanka.
KL Rahul made an impressive comeback in Indian colours after being absent for nearly six months. The middle-order stalwart, who chief selector Ajit Agarkar has tipped as India’s first-choice keeper heading into the ODI World Cup, scored a century against Pakistan to help India reach 356/2 in their 50 overs. Even though Ishan Kishan began the second innings behind the stumps, Rahul quickly replaced the southpaw. Rahul just made his recovery from a thigh injury, but the question now is if he can play another 50-over match in less than 24 hours.
