India and Sri Lanka first ODI from 1.30 pm

Kohli has the opportunity to become the Indian batsman with the most centuries against Sri Lanka.

On Tuesday, Team India and Sri Lanka will play the first ODI of the new season. This game, which will begin at 1:30 p.m. in Guwahati, is also regarded as the team’s conch shell for its World Cup mission. This year’s ODI World Cup will take place in India in October and November. Every ODI game that will be played in the nation from now until the start of the tournament will therefore be crucial for the Indian team. At the same time, Virat Kohli has a chance to both break and equal Sachin’s record in this game. Nearly four years have passed since his last ODI century for India.

In March 2019 against Australia, he recorded his most recent ODI century for the nation. On the other hand, Kohli will tie Sachin’s record for the most centuries scored at home if he scores a century in the opening match against Sri Lanka in Guwahati. Kohli has scored 100 runs or more 19 times in 101 ODIs, while Sachin has scored 20 centuries in 164 ODIs.

And Kohli has the chance to surpass one of Sachin’s records if he scores a century. He has the potential to set a new record for ODI centuries against Sri Lanka. Sachin and Kohli currently have 8 and 8 centuries, respectively. While Sachin played 84 ODIs, Virat scored 8 centuries in 47 of them.

The team’s selectors have chosen to field veteran players like captain Rohit Sharma in this game rather than the series rookies Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, and Hardik Pandya. Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah’s name had previously been on the list, but it has been decided to give him more time off now.

We will learn more about Guwahati’s weather in this tale. We will also examine the pitch report and a potential starting lineup in addition to this.

Bumrah won’t be playing, all eyes are on Rohit-Virat

Cricket fans’ attention will be on captain Rohit Sharma and opener Virat Kohli in the first game of the year because the Indian captain is making a recovery from a thumb injury. while Virat Kohli, a former captain of India, is returning from the T20 break. Kohli recently made the decision to skip the T20 league until the IPL. The selectors will be concerned about KL Rahul’s performance as well. Jasprit Bumrah’s arrival has been delayed for a few days in the interim. He was chosen for the ODI Series team.

The opportunity won’t be given to Ishaan Kishan, who scored a double century.

On the day of the game, captain Rohit Sharma announced that Shubman Gill would start the innings with him. Ishaan Kishan, who recorded a double century during the Bangladesh tour’s ODI cricket, won’t be participating. Ishaan’s exclusion is a difficult choice, according to Rohit, but for the time being, he wants to give Gill more opportunities. In addition, one of Shreyas Iyer and Suryakumar Yadav, who are both playing exceptionally well in this match, might be forced to withdraw. Ishaan Kishan’s absence means that KL Rahul will undoubtedly play as a wicket-keeper batsman. Only one of Surya and Iyer will be able to earn a spot in the starting 11 as a result.
