Openers Dhawan and Rahane are walking upto the middle. Dhammika Prasad getting ready to bowl first.

Virat wanted to bowl first too. Ravi Jadeja, Amit Mishra and Murali Vijay are not playing today.

Sri Lankan skipper Angelo Mathews wins toss and opted to field first. He said dew factor will be there in the evening otherwise they would have batted first.

The toss is just moments away.

This Cuttack ODI will be Raina's 200th. He needs only 44 more to get to 5000 ODI runs.

In the absence of Dhoni, Wriddhiman Saha is set to replace him. But the dilemma for the skipper would be that of the opening pair.

While all eyes will be on the stand-in skipper Virat Kohli who now has a chance to break Sir Viv Richard's record. He need just 121 runs to surpass Sir Viv Richards' record of fastest 6000 runs. Richards needed 141 innings while in 133 innings, Kohli has already amassed 5,879 runs with 20 tons and 31 fifties.

India are now leading fourth-ranked Sri Lanka by two ratings points.

Even Sri Lanka have a fair chance of climbing up to No. 1 position in the table, but it would be a challenging task, as the Islanders will have to win all their five matches in order to achieve that.

A 4-1 series win will put India at par with South Africa on 115 ratings points, but when the ratings are calculated beyond the decimal point, then they will be ranked number-one. A 5-0 sweep will mean India will take a two-point lead over South Africa.
