Depleted India eye series win vs SL

July 28, 2021 19:18

Welcome to the coverage of the second T20 International between India and Sri Lanka, which was postponed by a day after Krunal Pandya tested positive for COVID-19.

His positive forced seven players Prithvi Shaw, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Deepak Chahar, Manish Pandey, Ishan Kishan, and Krishna Gowtham - who were identified as close contacts go into isolation, resulting in them missing the remaining two T20Is.

Reserve players Ishan Porel, Sandeep Warrier, Arshdeep Singh, Sai Kishore and Simarjeet Singh have been added to the Indian squad ahead of the second match.

However, India's batting line-up has been severely depleted with the absence of their top players like Shaw, Suryakumar and Hardik Pandya.

India lead the three-match series 1-0 after winning the series opener by 38 runs.
