The Indian men's cricket team, led by new head coach Gautam Gambhir and T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav, has arrived in Sri Lanka for a white-ball tour comprising three T20Is and three ODIs. The tour marks a new chapter for India following their T20 World Cup victory, with veterans like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravindra Jadeja retired from T20Is. Gambhir emphasized a collaborative approach with Kohli and dismissed past IPL confrontations as irrelevant. Vice-captain Shubman Gill and experienced players like Hardik Pandya and Mohammed Siraj will support the team. The series kicks off on July 27 in Pallekele, with the ODI leg beginning on August 2 in Colombo.
