India vs Sri Lanka 1st T20I 2023: India wins first T20 by 2 runs

India vs Sri Lanka 1st T20I 2023, Scorecard Updates, IND VS SL LIVE Streaming: Team India's blueprint for the future in the T20 format will be on display as their three senior batsmen Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul sit out during the home series against Sri Lanka begining Tuesday, January 3, 2023 at Mumbai.

India has already tasted victory against New Zealand under T20 skipper Hardik Pandya, and with fearlessness and 'hammer-and-tongs' being the go-to approach in the shortest format, this squad of young talents will be expected to stamp their authority.

With no Rohit-Rahul-Virat, youngsters like Ruturaj Gaikwad and Rahul Tripathi will be expected to shoulder the burden of batting, alongside relatively experienced campaigners like Ishan Kishan, Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav.

In the bowling department, Mukesh Kumar and Shivam Mavi will want to make the most of the opportunities that come their way.
