Nagpur T20: Srilanka's fight for honor
December 9, 2009
Recently crowned World Number One Test team, India, will look to assert their supremacy in the shortest format as well when they clash against Sri Lanka in the first Twenty20 International in Nagpur today. For India, youngsters Ashok Dinda and R Ashwin are in the team, replacing fast bowler Zaheer Khan and off-spinner Harbhajan Singh. Suresh Raina, Yusuf Pathan and Rohit Sharma would shore up the middle-order along with Yuvraj Singh and captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. After winning the World Twenty20 in 2007, India has not played well in the international arena. In nine Twenty20 internationals since 2008, they have lost six and won only three - one each against Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Ireland.The tourists have brought in right-arm sling-action bowler Lasith Malinga, who missed the Test series because of an injury, to strengthen their pace bowling attack. Muttiah Muralidaran, who is nursing an injured finger, might not play.Teams for Twenty20: INDIA T20 (probable team) Gautam Gambhir, Virender Sehwag, Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh, MS Dhoni (capt & wk), Rohit Sharma, Yusuf Pathan, Pragyan Ojha, Sreesanth, Ishant Sharma, Ashish Nehra.
SRI LANKA T20 (probable team) Tillakaratne Dilshan, Sanath Jayasuriya, Kumar Sangakkara (capt & wk), Mahela Jayawardene, Chamara Kapugedera, Angelo Mathews, Kaushalya Weeraratne, Nuwan Kulasekara, Ajantha Mendis, Lasith Malinga, Chanaka Welegedara.
