Playing XI (Sri Lanka): Tillakaratne Dilshan, Niroshan Dickwella, Dinesh Chandimal(w), Mahela Jayawardene, Angelo Mathews(c), Lahiru Thirimanne, Thisara Perera, Seekkuge Prasanna, Ajantha Mendis, Shaminda Eranga, Lahiru Gamage
Playing XI (India): Ajinkya Rahane, Rohit Sharma, Ambati Rayudu, Virat Kohli(c), Robin Uthappa(w), Kedar Jadhav, Stuart Binny, Akshar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Karn Sharma, Dhawal Kulkarni
The last and only time India blanked Sri Lanka in a bilateral series was in 1982 when India won 3-0.
Indian Skipper Virat Kohli wanted to bowl first. Two changes for team India. As it was said Kedar Jadhav makes his debut in place of Raina while Ravichandran Aswhin replaces Umesh Yadav. It means they are playing with three spinners.
Sri Lanka have won the toss and decided to bat first. Angelo Mathews says they are not a team to be beaten by 0-5 and they have to get a big total. Lahiru Gamage is back in the squad for Nuwan Kulasekara while Niroshan Dickwella making his debut replaces Kusal Perera.
The pitch looks famine-stricken. It is dry and cracked. The cracks have not broken up a great deal. However, there is quite a bit of grass at the other end.
After mouling Sri Lanka in the first four ODIs, India would look to further humiliate visitor in the last ODI at JSCA International Stadium Complex, Ranchi here Sunday.
According to the reports, Suresh Raina is rested for the final ODI and Kedar Jadhav will make his international debut.
It've been a perfect series so far for India while but the visitors are struggling in every department of their game. Sri Lankan skipper Angelo Mathews has admitted that nothing was going their way after a string of embarrassing failures. The worst part was that they were never able to give India any competition.
If the bowling has lacked the venom in absence of their sling-arm fast bowler Lasith Malinga, it's better not to say something about the fielding which has failed to give them the back-up.
