Sri Lanka have won the toss and have opted to bowl first in the first Test against India after the game at the Eden Gardens was delayed due to rainfall in Kolkata.
The Lankans, whose current form has been dismal to say the least, will start as the underdogs but India must guard against an attack that has the dangerous Rangana Herath.
Sri Lanka: Dimuth Karunaratne, Sadeera Samarawickrama, Lahiru Thirimanne, Angelo Mathews, Dinesh Chandimal(c), Niroshan Dickwella(wk), Dasun Shanaka, Dilruwan Perera, Rangana Herath, Suranga Lakmal, Lahiru Gamage
India: Shikhar Dhawan, Lokesh Rahul, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli(c), Ajinkya Rahane, Ravichandran Ashwin, Wriddhiman Saha(wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umesh Yadav, Mohammed Shami
