Sri Lanka vs India 2017: India's probable playing XI for one-off T20I

All-rounders

Hardik Pandya will walk in at No. 5. He has been impressive with the ball during the tour thus far, giving the Sri Lankan batsmen nightmares and picking up wickets consistently.

However, he failed to find form with the bat. He played four matches in the ODI series in which he could gather merely 19 runs although he was not required to bat in some of the matches.

He will be followed by Kedar Jadhav. Jadhav too had a similarly poor run with the bat until the fifth ODI. After his brilliant 50 in the last match, it is highly unlikely that he would be dropped from the team. Moreover, he has been brilliant with the ball and that too will work in his favour. He will only have to be careful against Akila Dananjaya who dismissed him cheaply in two consecutive matches.
