Recent Highlights
India’s squad for the upcoming Asia Cup has Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma opening the innings, while Kuldeep Yadav is eyeing a comeback. The team looks set to hit the ground running against the UAE in the first match. On the other side, Sri Lanka has been tweaking its batting order after a few low scores, and the spin duo of Wanindu Hasaranga and Akila Dananjaya has been keeping opponents honest.
In Test cricket, Steve Smith will lead Australia in Sri Lanka, but the impact on India’s preparation is clear – the sub‑continent conditions are becoming a hot topic. Indian bowlers are studying the slower pitches, and the coaching staff is tweaking the training schedule to match those conditions. The recent Delhi rain alerts reminded everyone how weather can swing a game, and both teams are keeping a close eye on the forecast before the next series.
What to Watch Next
The next big showdown is the Asia Cup opener. Keep an eye on Gill’s strike rate; if he keeps the 150+ pace, India could post a massive total. For Sri Lanka, the key will be how Hasaranga uses his variations in the death overs – a single over can change the whole result.
Beyond the matches, follow player fitness updates. Sanju Samson’s rise in the ICC T20I rankings shows you can’t ignore form. If he keeps the 152 strike rate, he could be a game‑changer for India in the T20 format against Sri Lanka.
Finally, stay tuned for any weather alerts. The past week’s heavy rains in Delhi and the north‑east have shown how quickly a match can be delayed or shortened. A quick glance at the IMD forecast before you tune in will save you from missing the action.
