After a 2-1 T20I series win against Sri Lanka, India are all set to turn their focus towards ODIs against the Dasun Shanaka-led side, with the series kickstarting from ACA Stadium in Guwahati on Tuesday. With the series all set to mark the start of a crucial year as the ODI World Cup will be held in India in October-November, the hosts' have been hit hard by a late pull-out of pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah as a precautionary measure, thus extending his delay into playing competitive cricket since suffering a reoccurrence of back injury in September 2022, which also saw him miss Men's T20 World Cup in Australia.
A lot of questions remained over the choice of openers for the ODI series. Shubman Gill and Ishan kishan deputised for senior pros Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul during the Bangladesh series.
Indian team management has decided to stick with Shubman Gill which means Ishan Kishan will be limited to the bench despite scoring a double century in the last game against Bangaladesh. Captain Rohit Sharma will be the other opener to pair up with Gill at the start of the innings
On paper, India are definitely the heavyweights, especially in home conditions. But can Sri Lanka display the same spirit that they showed during the first two T20 matches?
Pitch report: The venue has been a batter's paradise. The pitch is on the drier side, and there are a few cracks. Dew factor might come into play tonight. The team fielding second will have a tough time because it will be tough to grip the ball. The pitch looks a good one to bat on, but chasing will be easier here according to Deep Dasgupta

Virat Kohli: I have had a bit of break, and a couple of practice sessions coming into this game, so I was fresh after that Bangladesh tour. I was excited for the home season to start. The openers allowed me to get into the game and I tried to keep my strike rate in check. I was happy I was able to maintain the tempo and we finished with 370. I would take those (dropped chances) any day. Luck plays a big part, you need to thank god on such evenings. These evenings are important, pretty aware of that. Thankful that I made the most of that luck presented to me. I helped the team get 20 runs extra, rather than 350. It's going to be the same thing. Someone will have to score a 150, or 140 to chase this down. But it also gives our bowlers a chance to bowl with dew coming into play. I am quite aware of what I eat, diet is the most important thing at this age. That keeps me in prime shape. That helps me give my 100 percent for the team.
