Suryakumar Yadav will make his debut as captain of the Indian team with Ruturaj Gaikwad serving as vice-captain for the first three games and Shreyas Iyer taking over for the remaining two.
The Indian squad sees the inclusion of Jitesh Sharma, who made his T20I debut in the Asian Games, along with KKR-star Rinku Singh, Tilak Varma, and Shivam Dube. The absence of senior players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli is notable as they have been rested.

This series holds importance for both teams, providing them with an opportunity to fine-tune their lineups as they prepare for the upcoming 2024 T20 World Cup. The matches are expected to be crucial in assessing and strengthening the teams' strategies and player combinations.
