India Playing 11 vs Sri Lanka – ICC World Cup 2023, Match 33
Rohit Sharma (C)
Rohit Sharma is the captain of India in the ICC World Cup 2023 and will lead the team against Sri Lanka. He will be an opener for the team. In the previous game, the right-handed batsman slammed a marvelous knock of 87 runs. With 398 runs in 6 matches, he is the leading run-getter for the team. Sharma has hit 1 ton and 2 half-centuries so far.
Shubman Gill
Shubman Gill will be another opener for India against Sri Lanka. The right-handed batsman got out for single digits in the previous game. Gill has mustered 104 runs in 4 games. He slammed a fifty in one match. Gill will aim for a big knock against Sri Lanka.
Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli got out for a 9-ball-duck in the last match where he struggled against England pacers. However, with 1 century and 3 fifties across 6 matches, Kohli has showcased a marvelous form with the bat. At a stunning average of 88.50, Kohli has mustered 354 runs in 6 matches.
Shreyas Iyer
Except for his unbeaten half-century of 53 runs in one game, Shreyas Iyer has largely struggled to score runs with the bat. In the previous game too, he got out for 4 runs when the team needed him to score in the middle-order. Since India has won all of their matches so far, Iyer might get another chance against Sri Lanka. However this time, he needs to prove his batting strength.

In 5 innings, he has captured 216 runs with 3 unbeaten knocks. He scored a match-winning knock of 97 runs in one match. Rahul will also keep the stumps for the team.
Suryakumar Yadav
Suryakumar Yadav might be retained in the middle-order after his impressive batting show in the last match. Yadav hit 49 runs in the previous game to rescue the team from a mini top-order collapse. Since Yadav is very well aware of Wankhede Stadium due to his association with Mumbai Indians franchise in IPL, he can be a useful weapon for India against Sri Lanka.
Ravindra Jadeja
Ravindra Jadeja will be a spin all-rounder for India in the next game. The left-arm spinner clinched 1 wicket in the last match and bowled at a superb economy of just 2.30. With 8 wickets in 6 games at economy 3.75, Jadeja has been a reliable addition in the spin department. The left-handed batter also slammed a crucial 35-run unbeaten knock in one game.
