IND vs SL: 5 Sri Lankan players you must have in your Dream11 team during T20I series

The three-match IND vs SL T20I series is all set to start on July 27 and all games will be played at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium.

The upcoming three-match IND vs SL T20I series will kick off on July 27 with both teams playing with new captains. Suryakumar Yadav and Charith Asalanka will be leading their respective nations in a full-time capacity for the first time.

The hosts have picked players who performed well in the recently concluded Lanka Premier League 2024, and at home, they are a solid unit. So this series is expected to be a close one. Sri Lanka have several good players who can win matches from any point.

Hence, we will talk about five Sri Lankan stars whom you should pick for your Dream11 team during the IND vs SL T20I series.

Here are the five Sri Lankan stars you must have in your Dream11 team during the IND vs SL series:

5. Avishka Fernando

Avishka Fernando ended the Lanka Premier League as the third-highest scorer and scored the most runs by a Sri Lankan player in the competition. He scored 374 runs at a blistering strike rate of 162.61. Avishka has been in good form and he can disturb the rhythm of Indian bowlers. He is expected to collect plenty of points on various fantasy cricket platforms during the IND vs SL series.

4. Charith Asalanka

Charith Asalanka will make his debut as Sri Lankan’s full-time T20I captain in this series. He had an impressive LPL 2024 season as he led Jaffna Kings to their fourth title. He will look to do something similar in this series and win it for Sri Lanka. He is a brilliant middle-order batter who has worked hard on his bowling as well. That’s why he is a must-have player in your IND vs SL Dream11 teams.

3. Kusal Mendis

Kusal Mendis also had a brilliant season in the LPL. He scored 329 runs at a strike rate close to 150. He is Sri Lanka’s best T20I batter right now and has done well against India in the past. Mendis is also their regular keeper, so he can collect extra fantasy points with the gloves. Hence, he is a pretty handy option if you are searching for a vice-captain for your fantasy cricket team during the IND vs SL T20I series.

2. Dasun Shanaka

Former Sri Lankan captain Dasun Shanaka has a good record against India. He is a consistent batter who plays well against both spin and pace. Then, his medium pace will be very handy on Pallekele’s slow track. Shanaka gives you a good option of vice-captain for your team on fantasy cricket platforms. He is also coming off a decent run in the LPL 2024.

1. Wanindu Hasaranga

Wanindu Hasaranga stepped down from the T20I captaincy after Sri Lanka’s group-stage exit in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. His LPL team, Kandy Falcons, couldn’t defend their title in the LPL 2024.

However, he remains a big match-winner as an all-rounder. The T20 format is his forte, and he is very competitive in both departments. The hosts will hope that Hasaranga can do well, because his performance can make a big difference in the outcome. So he can be a good captain option while making Dream11 teams during the IND vs SL T20I series.
