The Indian cricket team, having overcome their ICC (International Cricket Council) tournament failures of the past decade by winning the T20I World Cup last month and then defeating Zimbabwe in a five-match series by a convincing margin of 4-1, is now under the new leadership of coach Gautam Gambhir and skipper Suryakumar Yadav. They are all set to embark on a new era of T20 International cricket with a three-match series against the Sri Lankan cricket team.
On the other hand, the 2014 T20I World Cup champions, Sri Lanka, will aim to resurrect their form in the shortest format of international cricket after their dismissal performance at the recently concluded T20I World Cup, where they were knocked out of the group stage itself. However, this will not be easy for the Lankan Lions, who are struck with injury demons even before the series starts, as two of their star players, Dushmantha Chameera and Nuwan Thusara, have been ruled out due to injuries.
