Unchallenged by Sri Lanka so far, India would look to keep the foot on the pedal in their pursuit for a series whitewash when the two teams face off in the fourth and penultimate One-Day International at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, on Thursday.

India, who are without regular captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, have further re-arranged their squad by bringing in Rohit Sharma and Robin Uthappa in place of Shikhar Dhawan and Ravindra Jadeja for the final two inconsequential ODIs.

Also the hosts will have leg-spinner Karn Sharma, Vinay Kumar and Kedar Jadhav as Ishant Sharma with a stiff back, leg-spinner Amit Mishra and opener Murali Vijay have been left out.

Sri Lankan have added some sting to their attack by bringing back spinner Ajantha Mendis and have sought to shore up the batting line-up by calling Lahiru Thrimanne and Dinesh Chandimal for the remaining two matches. Veteran Kumar Sangakkara, who struggled for runs, along with Upul Tharanga, Dhammika Prasad and Suraj Randiv have gone back to Sri Lanka.
