Sri Lanka will be without the services of veteran Upul Tharanga, the stand-in skipper in their opening match against South Africa, who was handed a two-match suspension for over rate offences.
Regular skipper Matthews returned to the playing XI and so have all-rounders Danushka Gunathilaka and Thisara Perera. Besides Tharanga, Chamara Kapugedara and Seekkuge Prasanna, were the others to miss out.

Teams:
India: Virat Kohli (Captain), Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Mahendra Singh Dhoni (WK), Yuvraj Singh, Kedar Jadhav, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umesh Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah.
Sri Lanka: Angelo Matthews (Captain), Niroshan Dickwella (WK), Danushka Gunathilaka, Kusal Mendis, Dinesh Chandimal, Kusal Perera, Asela Gunaratne, Thisara Perera, Suranga Lakmal, Lasith Malinga, Nuwan Pradeep.
