Under the leadership of Shikhar Dhawan, the team has come out to play for the first time. On the other hand, former India batsman Rahul Dravid has come on a tour of Sri Lanka as a coach. There are six players in the Indian team who have not played international matches before but Dravid has made it clear that it will be difficult to give everyone a chance in this tour. By the way, most of the Indian players have been playing regularly in T20. The T20 World Cup is to be held at the end of the year and in such a situation every player will try to strengthen his claim.
