Sri Lanka skipper Kumar Sangakkara won the toss and opted to field against India in the first one-day international at the Madhavrao stadium on Tuesday.


India would be without middle-order batsman Yuvraj Singh, who has failed to recover from a finger injury.



Virat Kohli, as expected, comes in place of Yuvraj. Also missing from the hosts' final XI are Pragyan Ojha and Sudeep Tyagi.




Sri Lanka will be without two star bowlers - spin legend Muttiah Muralitharan and paceman Lasith Malinga. While Malinga is down with flu, Murali is out due to finger injury.


Teams:


India: MS Dhoni(C), Virender Sehwag, Sachin Tendulkar, Gautam Gambhir, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, Ravindra Jadeja, Harbhajan Singh, Praveen Kumar, Zaheer Khan and Ashish Nehra


Sri Lanka: Kumar Sangakkara (C), Upul Tharanga, Tillakratne Dilshan, Mahela Jayawardene, Thilan Samaraweera, Thilina Kandamby, Sanath Jayasuriya, Angelo Mathews, Nuwan Kulasekara, Dilhara Fernando and Chanaka Welegedara
