Even though Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will rejoin the squad, the fact that star pacer Jasprit Bumrah is still not game-ready will be detrimental to the team.
Jasprit Bumrah had previously been named to the updated Sri Lanka ODI squad, but on Monday, his name was removed due to "fitness concerns."
Ishan Kishan will warm the bench on game day to give Shubman Gill a "fair run," according to Rohit Sharma.
On the other side, Batter Shreyas Iyer will be aiming to grabbing for a position in India's middle order.
At 1:30 PM in Guwahati, the first game of the upcoming ODI series between India and Sri Lanka will begin.
