Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni won the toss and elected to bat against Sri Lanka in their tri-series cricket match here on Sunday.

India have made one change to the side with Yuvraj Singh, who was laid low by dengue fever, coming back into the side in place of Virat Kohli.

Sri Lanka have left out both Rangana Herath and Ajantha Mendis for the game.

Suraj Randiv, who was suspended for a match for deliberately bowling a no-ball in a previous match against India to deny Virender Sehwag a hundred, has come back into the side.

Thissara Perera has also been drafted into the side.

The Teams:

India: Mahendra Singh Dhoni (capt), Dinesh Karthik, Virender Sehwag, Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh, Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, Praveen Kumar, Ishant Sharma, Ashish Nehra, Pragyan Ojha

Sri Lanka: Kumar Sangakkara (capt), Upul Tharanga, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Mahela Jayawardene, Chamara Silva, Chamara Kapugedera, Angelo Mathews, Nuwan Kulasekara, Lasith Malinga, Suraj Randiv, Thissara Perera.
