Sri Lanka beat India, 1st ODI: Review

Sri Lanka beat India by eight wickets in the first ODI at Dambulla and took a 1-0 lead in the five match series.

After having won the toss, India elected to bat first but were crippled from the start itself as dashing opener Virender Sehwag was missing in action due to an ankle injury sustained in the nets. Virat Kohli made his ODI debut in his place but could not impress much as he was trapped in front by Kulasekara.
