The India cricket team toured Sri Lanka in July 2021 to play three One Day International (ODI) and three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.[1] The ODI series formed part of the inaugural 2020–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League.[2][3] All the matches took place at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.[4] Originally, the tour was scheduled to take place in June 2020, but was moved back to August 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic,[5] before being postponed.[6] On 9 July 2021, following an outbreak of COVID-19 cases in the Sri Lankan camp,[7] the series was postponed from 13 to 18 July.[8][9]

The tour overlapped with India's participation in the 2021 ICC World Test Championship Final and a Test series against England.[10] Therefore, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) named Shikhar Dhawan and Bhuvneshwar Kumar as India's captain and vice-captain respectively for the matches against Sri Lanka.[11] Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) named Dasun Shanaka as the captain for tour, with their selectors releasing Kusal Perera from his captaincy role.[12]

India won the first ODI by seven wickets,[13] and then won the second ODI by three wickets, to take an unassailable lead in the series.[14] Sri Lanka won the third ODI by three wickets, with India winning the series 2–1.[15] India won the first T20I by 38 runs.[16] The second T20I was postponed by one day, after India's Krunal Pandya tested positive for COVID-19.[17] All eight of Pandya's close contacts tested negative for COVID-19, but were not allowed to travel to the ground for the final two matches.[18] Sri Lanka won the second T20I by four wickets to level the series.[19] Sri Lanka won the third T20I by seven wickets and won the series 2–1.[20] It was the first time that Sri Lanka had won a T20I series against India.[21] It was also Sri Lanka's first bilateral series win against India across all formats of international cricket since August 2008.[22]

## Background

[edit]

In May 2020, Sri Lanka Cricket sent an email to the BCCI requesting for the series to be played in July 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[23] It also suggest the possibility of playing the matches behind closed doors.[24] The BCCI responded saying they were open to travelling to Sri Lanka, as long as there is no compromise to the wellbeing of their cricketers.[25] However, they also stated that the tour was "close to impossible at present", and they would have to wait to see how the pandemic unfolds.[26] On 18 May 2020, Ashley de Silva, the CEO of Sri Lanka Cricket, confirmed that the tour had not yet been postponed.[27] At the end of May, Sri Lanka Cricket named a 13-man squad to begin training at the Colombo Cricket Club.[28] In June 2020, the BCCI agreed to tour Sri Lanka in August 2020, subject to government permission.[29][30] On 12 June 2020, the BCCI confirmed that it had called off the tour due to the pandemic.[31]

In May 2021, BCCI President Sourav Ganguly confirmed that India would tour Sri Lanka to play five T20Is, although later the BCCI wanted to reduce it to a three-match series.[32] However, as the tour may ease the financial loses faced due to COVID-19 pandemic by boosting Sri Lanka Cricket's revenue,[33] the board asked the BCCI to play five T20Is instead of three.[34] On 20 May 2021, the BCCI considered the request, and agreed to play five T20Is.[35] However, on 10 June 2021, Sri Lanka Cricket confirmed the tour itinerary with only three T20Is.[36][37] On 8 June 2021, Rahul Dravid was named as the head coach of India's team for the tour.[38]
