Talking about the current action of Team India, they are set to lock horns with Sri Lanka in a three-match T20I series starting on Tuesday, the 3rd of January. Star all-rounder Hardik Pandya will lead the team as regular skipper Rohit Sharma is still on rest due to an injury in his left thumb that he sustained during the ODI series against New Zealand.
Indian team is also scheduled to play the two ODI series of three matches each against Sri Lanka and New Zealand this month.
