18:40 Local Time, 13:10 GMT, 18:40 IST: The covers are still being peeled off slowly. The entire ground was covered as is customary in Sri Lanka. Still few large squares of tarpaulin remain. The toss should happen soon though.

Viswa: "Good to see Gambhir's tactics of using Spinners towards the death which he has done so often with KKR."

ALANKRIT RAJ: I think KL Rahul deserves a chance in the t20I setup as well . Still remember his centuries in West Indies and England that series victory in NewZeland where he captained for the first time in absence of Virat and Rohit .

Keerthivarman: "Nice to see the young Indian team performing really well under GG's coaching. They should continue playing fearlessly regardless result. Bright future is visible"
