India captain Virat Kohli has asked his team to tighten up their fielding and be "ruthless" when they face Sri Lanka.

"Sometimes, starting with the tournament, creating momentum as a team, you can misfield, you can get overexcited," Kohli said on Wednesday.

"There can be lapses as well, especially when the team is seven or eight down and you know that the game is going to end soon. We have addressed the guys and have asked them to be ruthless and finish games off."
