Here are the top five players to watch out for during the India vs Sri Lanka match:
1) Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma has been back in form since the last two innings that he played against Nepal and Pakistan. He struck two consecutive half-centuries but failed to convert it to the big scores and against Sri Lanka he will look to do so.
2) Matheesha Pathirana
In the eagerly awaited match between India and Sri Lanka, Matheesha Pathirana emerges as a top player to watch. He has been in fantastic form, scalping away eight wickets with an economy of 5.38 in just two matches. He is in his prime form and is expected to continue that in today’s match.
3) Shubman Gill
The IPL 2023 Orange Cap winner has been at the peak of his career. Shubman Gill has smacked back-to-back fifties against Nepal and Pakistan in the last two innings so far and will look to showcase his world-class batting skills throughout the tournament.
4) Charith Asalanka
Another player from Sri Lanka who has left a lasting impression with his cricketing talent is Charith Asalanka. Charith Asalanka has scored 1093 runs so far in 30 ODI innings, and he has been a decent performer for his team in 2023 where he scored 340 runs in 12 innings, including two half-centuries.
5) Ishan Kishan
Ishan Kishan played a remarkable knock of 82 runs while batting at the fifth position against Pakistan and has nearly cemented his place in the middle order, making a strong case for inclusion in the Asia Cup playing XI. Therefore, he’ll be the one to watch out for in today’s IND vs SL clash.
