Sri Lanka's new ODI skipper Thisara Perera won the toss and asked India to bat.

Rohit Sharma: Good pitch. It is a good toss to lose. There would be initial assistance for the new ball bowlers. I am really honoured to be captain of Team India. It is a great responsibility. It is a great challenge. I have a great set of players with me. We would want to do something special today.

Thisara Perera: We want to bowl first. It looks like a good batting track. We want to chase. We want to do well. Some players are coming off injury.
