MS Dhoni was among the first from the Indian camp to rush to the pitch in Cuttack's Barabati Stadium.India and Sri Lanka will square off in Cuttack for the first of a three-match T20 International series on Wednesday and the 22-yard strip, as usual, will be of major interest.
So, what will Barabati come up with this time?On October 5, 2015 India were bowled out for 92 against South Africa in the only T20I played on this ground. Pacers Albie Morkel, Chris Morris, Kagiso Rabada and leg-spinner Imran Tahir were all among the wickets.
Earlier in 2017, it was a different story altogether in the ODI between India and England. Dhoni smashed 134 and was involved in a 256-run stand with Yuvraj Singh (150) as India posted 381/6 and then won by only 15 runs.
Not much competitive cricket has been played on this pitch since the India vs England ODI and to make matters worse, some football matches were played in the multipurpose stadium.
According to PTI, a few days ago, students
http://www.officialcavaliershop.com/authentic-3-isaiah-thomas-jersey.html from a club were made to use the pitch as a trial event. According to an official, it was a two-paced wicket that aided bounce from one end. He said, "Every effort is being made to produce a sporting wicket where at least

Fortunately for both captains, they would not have to deal with the dew factor.India, who demolished Sri Lanka 9-0 across formats in their own den earlier this year, won the three-Test series and ODI series on the islanders' return visit. The hosts have rested some of their key players ahead of the tour of South Africa.
Consequently, three young pacers along with the likes of Deepak Hooda and Washington Sundar have been included in the team.Sundar made his ODI debut during India's second ODI against Sri Lanka in Mohali last week.
India's batting will heavily rely on skipper Rohit Sharma, who will have KL Rahul for company at the top. Having lost his first match as captain, Sharma's record double hundred led a 141-run rout in Mohali and he will look to continue that form in the shortest format. A good start will be crucial for India to minimise the workload on
Cornellius Carradine Authentic Jersey the middle and lower order, which will be steered by Dhoni whose ability was doubted in the series against New Zealand.
Saurashtra left-arm pacer Unadkat, who last played in a T20I against
Calvin de Haan Authentic Jersey Zimbabwe in June last year, has been recalled and India have three first-timers in Washington Sundar, Basil

Baroda all-rounder Hooda had scored the fourth fastest Twenty20 century (108) by an Indian during the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy in February. It remains to be seen, however, if he's handed his debut cap with India already having two finishers in Dhoni and Hardik Pandya.
