Rohit Sharma Says Ravindra Jadeja Could Bat Higher Up The Order Again After No 4 Role In 1st T20I vs Sri Lanka

India skipper Rohit Sharma explained the reason why all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was sent up the order in the first T20I against Sri Lanka at the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Thursday. Jadeja, who made his Team India return on Thursday, was sent into bat at number four. The left-handed batter scored three runs from four balls. "Very happy with Jadeja's return. We want more from him that is why we asked him to bat higher. You will see that happening more and more in the games that he plays for India. I want him to bat up the order more," said Rohit Sharma at the post-match presentation.

IND vs SL, 1st T20I: BCCI Explains Why Ruturaj Gaikwad Was Not Part Of Playing XI

Talented opening batter Ruturaj Gaikwad has been ruled out of the first T20I against Sri Lanka owing to a wrist injury sustained during practice session. Ruturaj played in the last T20I against West Indies where he got out cheaply. "Ruturaj Gaikwad complained of pain in his right wrist, which is affecting his batting. He was unavailable for selection for the first T20I. The BCCI Medical Team is examining him," BCCI stated in a media release. Suryakumar Yadav and Deepak Chahar are already out of the series with a fractured wrist and hamstring injury respectively.

India vs Sri Lanka: Full Schedule, Squads For T20Is And Tests

After clean sweeping the West Indies in the three ODIs as well as the three-match T20I series, Team India's focus now shifts towards a three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka. Rohit Sharma's reign as India's full-time white-ball captain has started on a high note as the T20I series win over the Windies has seen them move to the top of the pile in the ICC Men's T20I Team Rankings. With the T20 World Cup set to be held later this year in Australia, Team India will continue to look for the right composition ahead of the marquee event.

Rohit Sharma's start to India's full-time white-ball captaincy has been perfect so far as India completed 3-0 clean sweep in T20Is over West Indies at home and another 3-0 sweep of the Windies in ODIs. The upcoming 3-match T20I series against Sri Lanka is another chance for the team to continue its dominant run in home conditions. The victory over West Indies catapulted India to the top of the ICC rankings in T20Is, but Rohit Sharma and head coach Rahul Dravid know that these bilateral series wins will eventually count for nothing if India falter in the ICC T20 World Cup in Australia later this year.
