Rohit Sharma ODI Stats and Performance against Sri Lanka
Rohit Sharma’s Last 5 ODI innings | ODI Performance against Sri Lanka | ODI Career | Captain/Vice-Captain Choice |
58, 47, 47, 61, 40 | 1922 runs in 53 matches | 10767 runs in 263 matches at a strike rate of 92.09 | ✅ |
The Indian skipper is batting with aggressive intent in the powerplay and has been successfully scoring runs. On this surface, he will bat at the best possible time as the shot-making will get difficult against the older ball.
Virat Kohli ODI Stats and Performance against Sri Lanka
Virat Kohli’s Last 5 ODI innings | ODI Performance against Sri Lanka | ODI Career | Captain/Vice-Captain Choice |
24, 54, 117, 51, 101* | 2618 runs in 54 matches | 13872 runs in 293 matches at a strike rate of 93.54 | ❌ |
During his career, Virat Kohli has amassed staggering numbers against Sri Lanka and he almost always scores runs against them. However, the Run Machine struggles a bit on the slower tracks and the spinners. Hence, it will be better if you pick Virat Kohli as the captain of your GL teams instead of the SL teams.
Axar Patel ODI Stats and Performance against Sri Lanka
Axar Patel’s Last 5 ODI innings | ODI Performance against Sri Lanka | ODI Career | Captain/Vice-Captain Choice |
33, 1, 7, DNB, 42 & 2/33, 1/48, 0/22, DNB, 1/47 |
128 runs and 20 wickets in 14 matches | 522 runs and 62 wickets in 58 matches | ✅ |
The left-arm all-rounder could be the wild-card captaincy choice as he is likely to contribute with both bat and ball. Axar Patel will be a lethal bowler on such a surface, while he is also a pretty compact batter to make a handy contribution with the bat.
Dunith Wellalage ODI Stats and Performance against India
Dunith Wellalage’s Last 5 ODI innings | ODI Performance against India | ODI Career | Captain/Vice-Captain Choice |
67*, 1, 15*, DNB, 2 & 2/39, 0/30, 0/47, 2/38, 1/53 |
152 runs and 7 wickets in 6 matches | 290 runs and 25 wickets in 22 matches | ✅ |
In his short career, the young all-rounder has made India his favourite opposition as he has performed against them with both bat and ball. While he is still not very experienced, he could be a solid captaincy option on this surface given India’s struggles against the left-arm spinners in the recent past.
Pathum Nissanka ODI Stats and Performance against India
Pathum Nissanka’s Last 5 ODI innings | ODI Performance against India | ODI Career | Captain/Vice-Captain Choice |
56, 1, 114, 36, 118 | 136 runs in 5 matches | 2281 runs in 56 matches at a strike rate of 90.47 | ❌ |
The right-handed batter has been in fine form since the T20 series against India. However, it is a difficult wicket to bat on and hence, it will be a better option to try him as a captain in the GL team.
