The domestic international season has begun with a couple of exciting T20 games. As of writing this, the third and final game is yet to be played, but Sri Lanka have already shown why they are the Asia Cup Champions in this format. They, of course, have had the advantage of travelling to India on the back of the recently concluded Lanka Premier League and so their players are match ready for this format both physically as well as mentally. 

Switching formats not easy

India, on the other hand, are coming into the series after a magnificent win in the longer format of the game. Sure, there is a change in personnel for the different formats, but it’s never easy to switch mentally from the red-ball format to the white-ball one and that too, the ultra-short one.
