Meanwhile, Sri Lanka won the toss and opted to bowl first against India. He made a change to play with Zenith Legez for Chamika Karunaratne.
On the other hand, India made some changes to the XI of playing for inconsistent matches as they rested Jasprit Bumrah and Shivam Dubey and brought it to Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana.

Why are you making turmoil? – East-India Star
Speaking on his official YouTube channel before India vs Sri Lanka Clash, Akash Chopra urged Gautam Gambhir and Suryakumar Yadav to stop the upheaval in XI. He explained in detail:
“This is an inconsistent game otherwise, but it is important from India’s point of view. Will you use more, as we are doing so openly? A upheaval is being seen in XI. However, will anyone be seen outside XI? This is a big question.
“Will Jitesh Sharma or Rinku be seen? Will Arshdeep get a chance? Will they continue with Bumrah or will rest?
“Change before the game, if you want. If you want, play Arshdeep, Rinku and Jitesh. Whatever you want to do, do it before the game. Helps the experiments if you achieve something from them and are able to stick to them. Whatever you are trying to do, you cannot stick with him. You are not going to send Sanju Samsan constantly.
