India vs Sri Lanka: From Suryakumar Yadav to Yuzvendra Chahal, five visiting players who impressed on the tour

Firstpost  

Here we take a look at the five Indians who impressed on the Sri Lanka tour: “We’ve got 11 players to choose from and all eleven are playing,” said India coach Rahul Dravid on the eve of the second T20I against Sri Lanka. Here, we take a look at a few players who have impressed on the Sri Lanka tour: Prithvi Shaw With the Australia tour, where he was dropped after playing a single Test, behind him, Prithvi Shaw appeared a man on a mission as he worked on his technique alongside former India batsman and his coach Pravin Amre. If he continues to bowl tidy spells in the remainder of IPL 2021, it will become really hard for the Indian selectors to look past him for India’s T20I World Cup XI. Having received a national T20I call up earlier this year against England, ‘SKY’ as he is known, carried right from where he left in the previous series, averaging 62 in three ODIs against Sri Lanka.
