Sri Lanka skipper Lasith Malinga won the toss and elected to bowl first at the MCA at Pune. Angelo Matthews and Lakshan Sankadan come into the Lankan Playing XI. India have also made three changes to their Playing XI with Manish Pandey, Sanju Samson and Y Chahal coming into the lineup for today's game.
Sanju Samson will be playing his first T2OI for India after a gap of almost four years. He last donned the Indian jersey in the shorter format against Zimbabwe way back in 2015.
Lasith Malinga: We will bowl first. There might be dew in the second innings. Our top-four batsmen need to get big runs. We have discussed that. We have two changes. Angelo and Sandakan come in.
Virat Kohli: We wanted to bat first as we wanted to do something different today. Trend is going towards team batting second. You can't go into the match thinking you can only do well when you chase. We want to embrace difficult things. India has made three changes to their playing eleven.
