S Sreesanth returned to the XI as India were put in to bat by Sri Lanka in their tri-series opener.

Sri Lanka skipper Kumar Sangakkara won the toss and preferred to field instead of exposing his inexperienced batting line-up. Sri Lanka suffered a jolt as Tillakaratne Dilshan, Monday's centurion against Bangladesh, and Chamara Silva missed out on the match as they are nursing injuries.

India: Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh, Ravindra Jadeja, Suresh Raina, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, Sreesanth, Ashish Nehra.

Sri Lanka: Upul Tharanga, Lahiru Thirimanne, Kumar Sangakkara, Thilan Samaraweera, Thilina Kandamby, Thissara Perera, Muthumudalige Pushpakumara, Suraj Randiv, Suranga Lakmal, Thilan Thushara, Chanaka Welagedera
