Sri Lanka tour will not be easy

The Sri Lankan team is not as strong as before but underestimating it would be a big mistake. Team India last toured Sri Lanka in the year 2021. Where they won the ODI series but had to face defeat by 1-2 in the T20 series. At that time the coach of the team was Rahul Dravid. By the way, a big news is that before India's tour of Sri Lanka, the captain of the host team, Wanindu Hasaranga, has resigned from his post.

This means that now Sri Lanka will have to choose a new captain before facing Team India. The Sri Lankan team is also going to take the field with a new head coach. Legendary player Sanath Jayasuriya has been made the interim coach of Sri Lanka.
