KL Rahul might lead India in three-match ODI series in Sri Lanka – Reports
KL Rahul could lead India in the upcoming three-match ODI series in Sri Lanka. As per reports, India’s regular captain Rohit Sharma and senior batter Virat Kohli might be rested for the white-ball series, which also includes a three-match T20I series.
India's tour of Sri Lanka will also mark new head coach Gautam Gambhir's first assignment with the Men in Blue.
A top BCCI official told India Today:
“It is expected that in the absence of Rohit, Hardik and KL are the options to be given the responsibility of captain. Both have captained the team earlier.
“If Hardik is not available for the T20Is, you might see Suryakumar Yadav as captain in T20Is and Rahul in ODIs. But for now, it seems that Hardik and KL will lead the team,” the source added.
