Sri Lanka won the toss and opted to bowl first against India in the 1st T20I. The three-match series is taking place at the R.Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.
Team India lead mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy make his debut while Prithvi Shaw makes his swashbuckling opening in T20I. The 29-year-old Chakravarthy missed out series in Australia and home series versus England due to poor fitness and injury related issues. But this time even Indian team is looking at one spinner for the T20 World Cup in the UAE. After winning the ODI series 2-1, Shikhar Dhawan and Co will look to start the T20I series on a high. Under Rahul Dravid’s guidance, some of the players have displayed their potential quite well. For Sri Lanka, the first win against India in an ODI on home soil after nine years could be just the turnaround.
