After losing their chance of winning their first ever Test and an ODI series win in India, Sri Lanka still have a chance to register their first ever T20I series win on Indian soil. In the absence of India’s crucial cogs like Virat Kohli and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Sri Lanka’s might will give a tough competition to the young Indian team led by Rohit Sharma.

Here are some key stats and numbers that might get changed during the India-Sri Lanka T20I series:

• 2 – Rohit Sharma (1485) will become the second Indian batsmen to surpass the tally of 1500 T20I runs after Virat Kohli.
• 4 – Sri Lanka lost to India in their last four meetings in T20I cricket.
• 5 – Sri Lanka lost their previous five T20I matches starting in 2017. It’s their longest losing streak in this format.
• 48 – MS Dhoni has been a part of India’s 48 T20I triumphs. He could become the first Indian and only the 3rd player after Shoaib Malik (61) and Shahid Afridi (57) to feature in 50 T20I wins.
• 49 – As a captain in T20s, Rohit Sharma led his team to victory in 49 out of 80 matches. Only six captains in T20 history have as many as fifty wins including India’s MS Dhoni (139) and Gautam Gambhir (97).
• 99 – Sri Lanka has featured in 99 T20Is so far winning 51 and losing 46. They will be the 4th team after Pakistan (120), South Africa (100) and New Zealand (100) to feature in 100 T20I matches.
