India vs Sri Lanka, 1st ODI - As it happened...

Sri Lanka drubbed India after 12 matches, and you can simply put it as "Sri Lanka's 13." With 176 balls and an entire sunset left, The Rohit Sharma-led Indian contingent learned a Lankan lesson. This is seriously something for Ravi Shastri and co. to ponder upon before leaving for the South Africa Tour.

Other than Dhoni's masterclass, the Indians don't have anything to boast about.

India fielded youngsters, that's acceptable ahead of the South Africa tour, but the performance was just too bad. These players have let the faith of the selectors down, but it's early to say that. The Indians still have time, and will hopefully come back in the next match, and show us their mettle.  (SCORECARD || MATCH REPORT || STATS PREVIEW)
