It’s the 2022 Sri Lanka tour of India and here, there are 3 T20Is and 2 Tests being scheduled between 24 Feb – 16 Mar 2022. The tour begins with the shortest format and the 1st T20I is being played at Lucknow, with both teams being affected in the squad department. Sri Lanka is coming in from Australia where they lost 1-4 in a 5-match T20 international series and will now be playing in more familiar conditions.
Everyone will remember that when these two teams played last year in Sri Lanka, India sent a second string side and they ended up losing what should’ve been a few easy victories. Now, it’s time for revenge for the home side as both teams have injury as well as Covid-19 casualties coming into the series.

India
The side is being led by Rohit Sharma and he’s always a threat in T20 cricket. And he’ll have an added responsibility on his shoulders with the likes of Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant and Suryakumar Yadav out of the side now. Pick him in your IND vs SL fantasy team while Ishan Kishan is fresh off the confidence of becoming the highest bid player at the IPL 2022 Auction and he’s likely to give them a blitzing start at the top.
The home side will be boosted with the return of their premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah but we’re more excited about Venkatesh Iyer who climbed a few spots in the ICC all-rounder rankings and could contribute with both bat and ball. After winning the Purple Cap in IPL 2021, Harshal Patel has learnt how to pick wickets at the international level as well and is sure to be among the wickets since he bowls in the death overs.
Sri Lanka
In the recent series against Australia, Pathum Nissanka scored in all but the final game of the series and he’s one for the future. He’s technically solid and definitely makes our IND vs SL Dream11 team today. Kusal Mendis and Maheesh Theekshana are likely to miss out with injuries while Wanindu Hasaranga is out after testing positive for Covid-19 once again. Kamil Mishara is likely to get another goa fter failing miserably on his T20I debut in Australia.

Dinesh Chandimal is someone I’d like to pick but he’s batting too low down in this lineup and hence, we’re leaving him out of our MyFab11 (sign-up with code “READAD46“) IND vs SL fantasy team. With the ball, Dushmantha Chameera could hurt India with his raw pace and in fact, he’s been showing some good control in recent months too. Lahiru Kumara has got pace but no control and we think he’ll be expensive here.
