Sri Lanka captain Thisara Perera has won the toss and elected to bowl in the first ODI against India in Dharamsala.

This is the first time Rohit Sharma is leading India and he is not too bothered about losing the toss.

"We would have batted anyways, nice bright sunshine and we have a good pitch. There will be some help for the fast bowlers initially and we will need to play out the new ball," he said.

"It's a real honour to be the captain of India. It's a great responsibility, I am ready for it. I have a great set of players," added Rohit.
