The one-day tournament where the seniors will reunite starts today.

With many senior players who were not included in the Indian T20 squad, it is unlikely that the Indian team will be well prepared to face the first one-day match that will start today (10).
The first one-day match between the two countries is scheduled to start at 1.30 local time and will begin in Guwahati.
This is the first one-day tournament that the Sri Lankan team will participate in this year after they managed to tie the one-day series with Afghanistan 1-1 last year. With the bitter defeat in the T20 series, there is a belief that the Sri Lankan team will enter this series in a good mood.
Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Lokesh Sharma, Mohammad Shami, Mohammad Sriraj, and Jasprit Bumrah, who were rested in the T20 series, have been invited for this ODI series. It can be a somewhat stressful situation for Sri Lankan bowlers.
The country’s cricket board has decided to remove Jasprit Bumrah, who was selected for the ODI squad, from this tournament. It was announced yesterday (9).
162 ODIs have been played between Sri Lanka and India, of which India has won 93 matches and Sri Lanka has won 57 matches. 11 matches ended in a draw and one match ended with no results.
India managed to win four of the last 5 ODIs played by Sri Lanka and India, while Sri Lanka managed to win one match.
Dasun Shanaka has been entrusted with the responsibility of leading the Sri Lankan team. You will be able to see many changes in the first match of the Sri Lankan team, which will join this tournament with many new players.

Shammi Silva Re-Elected as Sri Lanka Cricket President for Fourth Consecutive Term
Shammi Silva has been re-elected as the Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) president for the 2025-27 term, marking his fourth consecutive tenure at the helm of the nation’s cricket governing body. Silva secured the position uncontested at the 64th Annual General Meeting (AGM) held in Colombo on Monday.
A Controversial Yet Dominant Tenure
Silva’s leadership has not been without controversy. His previous term saw a high-profile clash with former Sports Minister Roshan Ranasinghe in 2023, which led to an interim committee being appointed after Sri Lanka’s poor performance in the ICC ODI World Cup. This move resulted in ICC suspending SLC, which led to Sri Lanka losing the hosting rights for the U19 Men’s World Cup, which was later held in South Africa.
Despite these setbacks, Silva regained control after a court ruling reinstated his administration, and he was later appointed as the president of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) in December 2023, replacing Jay Shah.
Challenges & Future Outlook
Sri Lanka Cricket has long been seen as a powerful and influential body, with internal politics often shaping its leadership. With financial mismanagement concerns highlighted in the Auditor General’s report, Silva’s administration faces the challenge of restoring credibility and ensuring better governance.
With the ICC ban lifted, Sri Lanka looks to rebuild its cricketing structure and improve performance on the international stage. The focus now shifts to upcoming bilateral series, the Asia Cup, and preparations for the 2027 ICC Cricket World Cup.

Stephen Fleming Defends MS Dhoni’s Batting Position Amid Criticism
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) head coach Stephen Fleming has defended MS Dhoni’s late entry in the batting order, stating that the legendary wicketkeeper-batsman cannot play an extended innings at full intensity due to lingering knee concerns.
The 43-year-old Dhoni faced criticism after coming in at No. 9 during CSK’s 50-run loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Chepauk. In the next match against Rajasthan Royals on March 30, 2025, he batted at No. 7 when CSK required 54 off 25 balls but managed just 16 off 11 as his team fell short by six runs.
Fleming’s Explanation on Dhoni’s Role
Fleming emphasized that Dhoni carefully assesses the match situation before deciding when to bat.
“It’s all about timing. MS judges his body and situation. His knees aren’t what they used to be, so he can’t bat for 10 overs at full intensity. He will step in based on the game’s demands,” Fleming explained at the post-match press conference.
The CSK coach reiterated that Dhoni remains too valuable to the team for his leadership and wicketkeeping and that sending him in too early could be a strategic misstep.
“From around the 13th or 14th over, he assesses the situation and decides. He trusts other batters early on but steps up when needed.”
CSK’s Struggles in the Powerplay Cost Them the Match
Fleming also pinpointed CSK’s poor powerplay performance as a key reason for their loss against Rajasthan Royals. While RR blasted 79/1 in the powerplay, CSK only managed 42/1,
