The upcoming ODI series against Sri Lanka marks a significant chapter for Team India as it will be the first time Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli work under the guidance of newly appointed head coach Gautam Gambhir. 

As the Men in Blue gear up for this series, the atmosphere is charged with anticipation and excitement.

Ahead of the first ODI at the R Premadasa Stadium, Virat Kohli was seen intensely preparing during a practice session. A heartwarming moment that caught the attention of fans was Kohli’s interaction with former Indian cricketer Robin Uthappa.

Alongside Kohli, Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma were also seen honing their skills during practice. The presence of Gautam Gambhir, India's head coach, was a focal point, as this series marks his debut in the role. 

Gambhir, known for his sharp cricketing acumen and strategic mindset, will undoubtedly bring a fresh perspective to the team dynamics. India enter the ODI series with momentum, having recently whitewashed Sri Lanka in the three-match T20I series, securing a 3-0 victory. 

The first ODI match against Sri Lanka will be held on August 2 at the R Premadasa Stadium.
