The India Cricket Team reached Sri Lanka yesterday and now the focus turns to putting in the hard yards. The Men in Blue are slated to have a three -hour grueling session at nets. Also this would be the first training session for the team under their new head coach Gautam Gambhir.
Gambhir along with the T20I squad flew to Sri Lanka. Under the new reign, it will be Suryakumar Yadav who will captain the side with young Shubman Gill selected as his deputy. As for the training session is concerned, it most likely will be an optional practice session.
Players will try to take it easy on Tuesday, given that the IND vs SL 1st T20I takes place on Saturday. As for the shortest format of the game, The Men in Blue are high in confidence after the youngsters return from a convincing 4-1 win over Zimbabwe.
All eyes on Shubman Gill
While Suryakumar Yadav might be the captain, but the primary focus will be on young Shubman Gill. The youngster was recently promoted as the vice captain of India in both ODIs and T20Is. It is clear indicative of the fact that Team India are hugely banking on the youngster to become the poster boy of India.
Meanwhile, under the guidance of Gautam Gambhir, for the very first time, Team India will hit the ground running. As per reports, the Men in Blue are slated to have a 3 hour practice session. Apart from facing pacers, the batsmen will be eager to face the spinners as well.
Sri Lanka is notoriously famous for its typical subcontinental slow tracks that favours spin bowling. Thus the top order as well as the hard hitters will be eager to hit the nets as early as possible.
