Toss : India captain Rohit Sharma opts to bowl after winning the toss

Team India skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bowl in the second T20I of the series against Sri Lanka in Dharamsala

At the toss Rohit Sharma said, “We are going to bowl first, just want to have a score in front of us. It’s going to get colder as the game goes on. Same team for us. The changes don’t depend on win or loss. It’s just about what the team wants. We also have at look at niggle/injuries. We also have to take care of the guys.”

At the toss Dasun Shanaka said, “We would have bowled as well because the pitch was under the covers. The openers and the top-order need to fire. Two changes. Janith Liyanage and Jeffrey Vandersay are out. Binura Fernando.”

Captain @ImRo45 wins the toss and elects to bowl first in the 2nd T20I.

An unchanged Playing XI for #TeamIndia

Interesting pitch report from Ajit Agarkar as all is set for the toss now

Pitch report by Ajit Agarkar:

“The groundsmen have done an outstanding job, it has been raining for couple of days. They are still working on the outfield to get the game started on time but the pitch looks terrific. Lovely covering of grass, which means the ball should come on to the bat nicely. There might be some swing on offer because of the weather conditions. But this looks like a good pitch.”

India were given a huge blow with Ruturaj Gaikwad being sidelined for the series
