India win toss and chose to bowl against Sri Lanka

India captain Virat Kohli won the toss and chose to bowl against Sri Lanka in their second one-day international in Pallekele on Thursday (24).

The visitors, who lead the five-match series 1-0, have retained the XI that crushed Sri Lanka by nine wickets in Dambulla on Sunday (20).


"You might see different guys coming in at different times of the innings, or people bowling at different times," said Kohli about his tactics for the match.

Sri Lanka captain Upul Tharanga has made three changes to the starting lineup in a bid to reverse his team's wilting fortunes.

Fast bowler Dushmantha Chameera and all-rounders Akila Dananjaya and Milinda Siriwardana have been drafted in.

"We have to be patient and put up a very good batting display. When the batsmen get set, they have to get the big one (score)," said Tharanga.

Teams:

Sri Lanka: Upul Tharanga (captain), Angelo Mathews, Niroshan Dickwella (wicketkeeper), Dhanushka Gunathilaka, Kusal Mendis, Chamara Kapugedara, Akila Dananjaya, Dushmantha Chameera, Milinda Siriwardana, Lasith Malinga, Vishwa Fernando.

India: Virat Kohli (captain), Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Lokesh Rahul, Kedar Jadhav, Mahendra Singh Dhoni (wicketkeeper), Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

Umpires: Ranmore Martinesz (SRI), Paul Reiffel (AUS)

TV umpire: Joel Wilson (WIS)

Match referee: Andy Pycroft (ZIM)

Kim Kardashian just shared a health scare, a seriously heavy revelation that no one saw coming. It all came out in a teaser for her show's new season. She told her family the doctors found a small brain aneurysm and pointed straight to the stress.

In the teaser, Kim lies in an MRI scanner and then later, on the phone to her sister Kourtney, her voice is flat. “There was a little aneurysm,” she says. Kourtney’s wide-eyed, hand-over-heart reaction “Whoa” said everything fans were thinking. And the doctor’s explanation was stark. “They were like, ‘Just stress,’” Kim told her family.
