New Delhi: Team Dhawan is preparing for the one-day series (Sl vs Ind ODI) against Sri Lanka starting on Sunday, amid the impact of Kovid-19 on Team Virat in England.
Recently, the Indian team played three intra-practice matches as part of preparation and the performance of these matches gave coach Rahul Dravid a new idea about choosing Indias possible XI.
Many players performed brilliantly. Apart from Prithvi Shaw, Suryakumar Yadav and Navdeep Saini, Kuldeep Yadav stunned in these matches.
