Sri Lanka v India, 1st ODI, Hambantota
India bat, Irfan Pathan picked
Toss India chose to bat against Sri Lanka
India's season started on a good note as MS Dhoni won the toss at a windy Hamabantota. "I've been practising tosses during my off days," Dhoni joked, referring to his poor form at the toss.
India chose to bat, and also chose to pick Irfan Pathan as their third fast bowler, and slotted him at No. 7, asking him to contribute with the bat as well. The only other frontline bowler retained from India's previous ODI, in the Asia Cup, is offspinner R Ashwin. Quicks Zaheer Khan and Umesh Yadav are back after a break, while left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha gets his first game in nearly two years. Rahul Sharma, the legspinner who is involved in a controversy after news emerged of him testing positive for recreational drugs, was not picked.
There weren't any surprises in Sri Lanka's line-up, with left-arm-spinner Rangana Herath taking the place of Jeevan Mendis.
India: 1 Virender Sehwag, 2 Gautam Gambhir, 3 Virat Kohli, 4 MS Dhoni (capt & wk), 5 Rohit Sharma, 6 Suresh Raina, 7 Irfan Pathan, 8 R Ashwin, 9 Zaheer Khan, 10 Umesh Yadav, 11 Pragyan Ojha
Sri Lanka: 1 Tillakaratne Dilshan, 2 Upul Tharanga, 3 Kumar Sangakkara (wk), 4 Dinesh Chandimal, 5 Mahela Jayawardene (capt), 6 Lahiru Thirimanne, 7 Angelo Mathews, 8 Thisara Perera, 9 Nuwan Kulasekara, 10 Lasith Malinga, 11 Rangana Herath

Wickets Details:
2.2
Kulasekara to Gambhir, OUT, an unusual dismissal but Sri Lanka will take it, bowled round his legs is Gautam Gambhir, short of a good length on leg stump, he shuffles across to work it square, misses, it grazes the flap of the pads and knocks back leg stump, the hosts have struck early
G Gambhir b Kulasekara 3 (6b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50.00
-
31.3
Perera to Kohli, OUT, Run-out, Sehwag is walking back, better from Thisara, he held back his length this time a touch while bowling it straight, Kohli dropped it into the off side, Sehwag wanted the single and had taken a start but Kohli sent him back, Thisara collected and did superbly to throw down the stumps at the non-striker's end to catch Sehwag short. He's missed his century
V Sehwag run out 96 (97b 10x4 0x6) SR: 98.96
-
33.6
Mathews to Sharma, OUT, Angelo's struck, two wickets in quick time, did that nip back in? Short of a good length, landed on the off and appeared to just nip back in, Rohit was late on it and was eventually beaten through the gate, it knocked back off stump
RG Sharma b Mathews 5 (8b 0x4 0x6) SR: 62.50
