After winning the first match of the three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka in Lucknow, Team India will now take the series in the second match to be played in Dharamsala. Significantly, captain Rohit Sharma (Captain Team India) and company had defeated Sri Lanka by 62 runs in the first match. But, before the second IND vs SL 2nd T20I, the bad news for India is that Rituraj Gaikwad has been ruled out of the series due to injury. It is reported that, now Mayank Agarwal has been included in the T20 team in his place.
The weather in Dharamsala is believed to be bad during the second match. Due to this there is also doubt about the completion of this match. It is worth noting that on Saturday, 12 February, the officials of Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association went to the Indrunag temple and offered prayers, so that the match could be conducted as per the schedule. There is a temple of Indrunag near Dharamshala (Dharmshala SL vs IND T20I 2nd Match, 2022) and it is considered to be the god of rain.

The history of cricket tells that when India last played at the Dharamsala ground, the toss was not even possible due to rain. And the same danger is looming this time as well. Significantly, the last time a T20I match was played in Dharamsala was in the year 2016. In such a situation, it is very difficult to say how the mood of the pitch will be. The pitch here will be like an unknown host for both the teams. History testifies that at 1457 meters above sea level, the ‘Dharamshala Cricket Stadium’ hosted its first ODI match between India and England in 2013. Since then, 9 T20Is, 5 ODIs and 1 Test match have been played here.
Rohit Sharma has scored a century in Dharamsala
The new captain of the Indian team, Rohit Sharma, has also scored a century in T20I cricket on this ground in Dharamsala. Significantly, Rohit Sharma is the second highest run-scorer in T20 Internationals at this ground. The history of cricket tells that in this stadium in Dharamsala, in the year 2015, South Africa scored 200 runs against India in the T20I match (South Africa vs India T20I, 2015 Dharmshala), which was played on behalf of a team in T20 International at this ground. Highest score ever made.
