IND vs SL 2023: Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai pitch history and T20I records

Wankhede Stadium will play host to Team India's first match of 2023 on Tuesday evening, January 3. Sri Lanka's tour of India will get underway with a three-match T20I series between the two nations.

Last year, Sri Lanka knocked India out of the Asia Cup 2022 by defeating them in the Super 4 stage. The Men in Blue will be keen to avenge that defeat, but the majority of the big names who featured in that Asia Cup match are absent from the squad for the upcoming series.

Captain Hardik Pandya will lead a new-look Indian squad in the upcoming T20I rubber. Hardik has fond memories of playing at the Wankhede Stadium, and before he plays his first home game as India's captain, here are some vital stats and numbers you need to know from previous T20Is played in Mumbai.
