Should India bring in Padikkal or Rana for 2nd ODI?

It was a dominant show by the young Indian team in the first ODI against Sri Lanka in Colombo on Sunday.

The Shikhar Dhawan-led Indian team trounced the hosts by seven wickets with 13.2 overs to spare to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.

While another win on Tuesday will help India seal the ODI series, Head Coach Rahul Dravid will be keen to give the other players a chance to prove their worth.

The likes of Devdutt Padikkal, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Nitish Rana could come in for the struggling Manish Pandey, but Sanju Samson looks unlikely because of a knee ligament injury.

Off-spinner Krishnappa Gowtham could get a look-in considering the number of left-handers in the Sri Lankan batting line-up, while leg-spinner Varun Chakravarthy will be keen to get cracking on the turning track at the R Premadasa stadium in Colombo.

Young left-arm pacer Chetan Sakariya and fast bowler Navdeep Saini may have to wait for their turn later on in the series.
