India vs Sri Lanka 2017: India's probable playing 11 for the second ODI

Lower middle order

With the Sri Lankan second wicket partnership going hammer and tongs, Kohli slipped in Kedar Jadhav’s seemingly harmless off-breaks to mix things up, which eventually bore fruit. A versatile, street-smart player, Jadhav has been able to ward off other middle-order prospects due to his dynamic batting and more-than-useful bowling in the middle overs.

Hardik Pandya has nippy pace, but doesn’t get the ball in the right areas, making him a sitting duck in the powerplay overs. His batting in international cricket has taken a turn for the better with a Test century to his name, and also after his recent hard-hitting exploits in the Champions Trophy.
