Selection Dilemma: Pant vs. KL Rahul
One major decision for Rohit Sharma is whether to include Rishabh Pant or KL Rahul in the playing eleven. Pant is making his return to the team after recovering from an injury and a strong performance in the IPL. He was also part of the victorious T20 World Cup team. Sharma described the decision as a “pleasant problem,” noting that both players are match-winners. “Choosing between KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant is difficult. Both are excellent players, and this is a good problem to have,” Sharma said.
Suryakumar Yadav’s Performance and Future
Regarding Suryakumar Yadav’s recent success, Rohit Sharma acknowledged his strong performance but chose not to overemphasize it at this stage. “It’s early days, and we need to focus on consistent performance,” Sharma mentioned. He praised Suryakumar’s role in the recent series but emphasized that the team needs to continue working hard and evaluating their progress.

Focus on Winning, Not Just Preparation
When asked if the ODI series is a preparation for the Champions Trophy, Sharma was clear about his stance. “This is not just a practice ground. We are not treating this as a practice series. Our goal is clear: to play good cricket and take something valuable from every match,” Sharma stated. He emphasized that the team’s focus is on performing well and achieving their objectives in each game.
The ODI series against Sri Lanka will be crucial for India as they aim to maintain their form and build towards future tournaments.
