Here are the players, who will under a lot of scanners during three-match T20I series between India and Sri Lanka.
With the rubber currently tied, both the teams will leave no stone unturned to clinch the series and players from both the sides were seen relaxing ahead of the series decider.
Yuvraj backed all-rounder Shivam Dube, who made his debut in the three-match T20 series against the West Indies. Yuvraj's former teammate Harbhajan Singh echoed similar views.
Indian all-rounder Shivam Dube made his ODI debut against West Indies in Chennai.
Dube came into the limelight with his big-hitting prowess during an innings of 54 in 30 balls during the second T20 International against West Indies in Thiruvananthapuram.
Shivam Dube said Rohit Sharma motivated him ahead of the 2nd T20I against West Indies, where he scored his maiden T20I fifty.
Promoted up the order at No 3, Dube smashed 54 off 30 balls with four sixes, three of which came in one over from rival skipper Kieron Pollard but India failed to defend a target of 170 with three-match series levelled at 1-1.
While fielding, Washington Sundar at mid-off and Rishabh Pant behind the stumps dropped catches off successive deliveries from Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
A below-par score of 170 for 7 with only 38 runs in the final five overs was never going to be enough keeping the dew factor in mind and senior opener Lendl Simmons (67 * off 45 balls) seal the match for Windies.
Shivam Dube slammed his maiden T20I half-century after being promoted to number 3 in the batting order during the 2nd T20I against West Indies.
Primarily a bowling all-rounder, who can hit big shots, Shivam will be aiming to assert himself more in the three T20 Internationals against the West Indies.
Virat Kohli took to Twitter and share a photo with teammates KL Rahul and Shivam Dube en route Hyderabad.
As Dube's and Yuvraj's technique look quite similar, fans have started to compare the youngster with the World Cup winning star.
Shivam Dube, 26, became the 82nd player to get a Team India cap in the shortest format of the game on Sunday at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
Shreyas then said that Dube hits the bigger sixes between the two. Chahal then asked Dube if his sixes are bigger than his own, which brought a laugh from the left-hander.
Rohit, leading the side in the absence of Virat Kohli who has been rested, backed local boy Pant, an indication that Samson may not figure in the XI.
