Shikhar Dhawan-led India starts as favourite against unsettled Sri Lanka

The Hindu  

A bunch of fresh faces will be desperate for a fair T20 World Cup audition when India's different-looking yet formidable white-ball squad face an under-fire Sri Lanka in the six-match limited overs contest, beginning with the first ODI here on Sunday. READ: Sri Lanka series a good platform for players, selectors ahead of T20 World Cup However there are multiple contender for other slots. READ: Dasun Shanaka expects an 'even contest' between India and Sri Lanka While Virat Kohli's men are keen to set their dismal Test record in England straight, the team led by Dhawan and coached by Dravid -- the man responsible for creating the pool, will never accept that this is a "second string" outfit taking on islanders, who are going through their lowest ebb. READ: Sri Lanka cannot be in a transition phase forever, says Mickey Arthur Among the newcomers, Varun Chakravarthy, who probably will be exclusively used in the shortest format, has a good chance of making the World T20 cut and Chetan Sakariya's left-arm seam bowling is an option they would like to look at.
