Cricket News Desk. Before the announcement of Team India for the ODI and T20 series against Sri Lanka, a big news has come out. Media reports are that after Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli's leave has also been cancelled. Both these players will play in the ODI series against Sri Lanka. If sources are to be believed, head coach Gautam Gambhir has asked both the players to be available for the ODI series against Sri Lanka. First Rohit Sharma agreed and now Virat Kohli has also agreed to it.

Holidays cancelled, now ODI series will be played
After the T20 World Cup, both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were taking rest. Rohit Sharma is in America and Virat Kohli is in London. Both these great players have said goodbye to this format after winning the T20 World Cup. It was believed that both the legends would hardly play in the ODI series against Sri Lanka, but Gautam Gambhir included both of them in the team as soon as he became the head coach. However, the Indian team for the Sri Lanka tour has not been announced yet.

Will play ODI series in Sri Lanka after 7 years
You will be surprised to know that Virat Kohli has not played any ODI series in Sri Lanka for the last 7 years. Virat last played an ODI series in Sri Lanka in 2017. In the year 2017, Virat Kohli scored 330 runs at an average of 110 with the help of 2 centuries and a half-century in the Sri Lanka ODI series. Virat Kohli's strike rate was also 111.86. This means that once again Virat Kohli can wreak havoc in Sri Lanka. Anyway, there is no comparison to this in the ODI format.

The big news is that Gautam Gambhir has also taken a big decision regarding the T20 captaincy of Team India. It is being said that Suryakumar Yadav will now become the T20 captain in place of Hardik Pandya. But all these things will be clear only after the announcement of the team.
