The three-match ODI series between India and Sri Lanka is going to start from today. The first match is to be played at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Through this series, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who are called the heart and heart of Team India, will return to the field. After giving India the second title in the T20 World Cup, both these legends were on rest and were spending time with their families. Recently, India clean swept Sri Lanka in the T20 series. Now it is the turn of ODIs. Sri Lanka has the challenge of saving itself from a clean sweep, because the Men in Blue have many great players. The biggest threat is King Kohli, who is a heavyweight over the entire Sri Lankan team.
Virat Kohli is the most reliable batsman of Team India. He has scored 50 centuries in ODIs. Whenever he has played against Sri Lanka, he has scored runs. Kohli is the biggest threat for this team because he is the second highest run scorer from India. Kohli’s batting average is more than 100 at the R Premadasa ground where the first match is to be played.

Virat has played 292 ODI matches, in which he has 13848 runs with a good average of 58.68, he has scored 50 fifties, while the total runs of all the 16 players of Sri Lanka’s squad are 12,885.
