SL vs IND: Wasim Jaffer has the Perfect Solution for India’s Playing 11 for 2nd T20I

The COVID-19 pandemic has raged havoc across the World and in the disappointing development, it has affected the series between Sri Lanka and India. After successful completion of the three-ODI series, which visitors won 1-2, both the nations are currently locking horns in the T20I series.

After Shikhar Dhawan-led side completed an emphatic 38-run victory over Sri Lanka in the first T20I, the second match was scheduled to take place on Tuesday (27th July) but was postponed by 24 hours after ace all-rounder Krunal Pandya was tested positive for the COVID-19.
