After putting up an overall great show last year, Virat Kohli-led India cricket team would look to begin 2020 on a high as they face a well-known opponent in Sri Lanka cricket team in the first T20I at the Barsapara stadium in Guwahati on Sunday.

The three-T20I series would also be useful for the hosts to prepare for the upcoming series against Australia and New Zealand.

Jasprit Bumrah’s comeback after injury would be a highlight as the ace pacer has been out of action since August 2019. India is shouldering responsibility on a young side.

In the batting line-up, Manish Pandey, Sanju Samson and Shivam Dube would expect more chances to cement their place in the Indian team for the upcoming series. Readmore
