What a start for the debutant.

AM Rahane c Chandimal b Rajitha 4 (4b)   

RG Sharma c Chameera b Rajitha 0 (2b)

In-form Indian openers have come to the middle. Both are destructive batsmen.

India cricket lovers want youngster Hardik Pandya to spread some magic from his willow. He is a big hitter of the cricket ball. Can he get a promotion today? 

Dew might play a crucial role in today's match. Here is the reason.

It's got a green tinge to it. Gavaskar expects dew to be a factor. What do you reckon? @Paytm #IndvSLhttps://t.co/3MXxEu4Zy4
