At 17 years and 199 days, Washington Sundar had become the IPL’s third-youngest debutant
Virat Kohli, who had been rested from the ODI series against Sri Lanka, has been rested for the T20 leg too. This means Rohit Sharma will lead the limited-overs sides in Kohli’s absence. The squad includes three new faces – 18-year-old Tamil Nadu allrounder Washington Sundar, Baroda batsman Deepak Hooda and Kerala quick Basil Thampi. The trio along with Saurashtra seamer Jaydev Unadkat, who last played international cricket in June 2016, have been rewarded for their impressive performances in the IPL earlier this year.
Squad: Rohit Sharma (capt.), KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, Manish Pandey, Dinesh Karthik, MS Dhoni(wk), Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Deepak Hooda, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Basil Thampi, Jaydev Unadkat
