India vs Sri Lanka 1st ODI

A wounded India would bank on its young blood to make amends for their humiliating loss in the Test cricket series against Sri Lanka as it takes on the hosts in the first of their five one-dayers in Dambulla on Monday. Skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who was badly missed at the middle-order in the three-Tests series, returns to lead the side knowing that it would be imperative for him to soon find a way to crack the code of mystery spinner Ajantha Mendis, who is fast gaining the reputation as their nemesis.
