A new revolution, a new era begins for the Indian cricket team this Saturday as the Indian men’s cricket team starts a new era under the coaching for former Indian World Cup winning opener Gautam Gambhir. This will also be India’s first big T20I series after being crowned the champions of the world after winning the T20 World Cup 2024 hosted by USA and West Indies.

It has been about a month since Team India were crowned the T20 Worl Champions beating the South Africa cricket team in the final held on 29th June. Since then, Team India won the 5 match T20I series 4-1 with a rotated squad that featured Shubman Gill as the captain of the team.

But team India’s true test as the T20 World Champions begins from the 27th July, 2024 as the Men in Blue gear-up to take on Sri Lanka in a 3 match T20I series followed by the 3 ODIs. This series is also of significant importance as former Indian cricket team’s opener Gautam Gambhir starts his stint as the Head Coach of the Indian team.

Gautam Gambhir played a significant role in bringing back the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) into the IPL title picture as KKR won the IPL 2024 after a 10 years gap with Gautam Gambhir returning to his former side as the mentor of the team. Gambhir’s tactical brilliance encouraged the BCCI to push for Gambhir as Team India’s new Head Coach following Rahul Dravid’s tenure completion after the T20 World Cup 2024.

Meanwhile, the Sri Lanka T20I series will garner a lot of attention from the Indian cricket fans as Suryakumar Yadav has been named the new T20I captain after Gambhir’s appointment. Hardik Pandya was previously the leading candidate to replace Rohit Sharma’s as Team India’s new T20I captain. However, Gautam Gambhir had different as he opted for his former vice-captain as the captain of the Indian T20I team.

Another thing to watch out for will be, how the Indian cope up and replace the trio of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja, who all announced their retirement from T20I format after winning the T20 World Cup 2024. Team India’s squad features some really talented new faces for series. So there are a lot of reasons to tune into to watch India take on Sri Lanka in the 3 match T20I series followed by the 3 match ODI series. Below mentioned is how you can watch the India tour of Sri Lanka in India.
