India vs Sri Lanka 1st T20I, Team India Predicted XI: Jasprit Bumrah, Ravindra Jadeja Set For Return, Ravi Bishnoi And Yuzvendra Chahal To Battle For Second Spinner's Slot

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.

Rohit knows he has his job cut out and this series too will give him and the management a chance to further look at players who can make it to the World Cup squad.

Rohit Sharma: With no Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant in the team for the series, and Suryakumar Yadav out with an injury, Rohit will have to play the sheet anchor's role.

Shreyas Iyer: The
