India vs Sri Lanka 2017, 1st ODI: Five things that went wrong for the hosts
Rohit Sharma, India's stand-in captain in the absence of Virat Kohli, was handed an excruciating 7-wicket defeat by Sri Lanka in his first outing as a skipper at Dharamshala.
Opting to field first, Thisara Perera's men broke India's back as the hosts were reduced to 28/6, their lowest ODI score after the fall of six wickets.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni fought a lone battle to score 65 off 87 deliveries, guiding India from 29/7 to 112 in 38.2 overs.
Now that the hosts are trailing 1-0 in the three-match ODI series, let's have a look at what went wrong for the Men in Blue.
#1 India losing the toss
Thisara Perera won a crucial toss and made the most of it by inviting India to bat first on a wicket that had enough purchase for the pacers bowling with the new ball.
After losing the toss, Rohit had said that it was a good toss to lose as he would have batted anyway. He was under the impression that his batsmen would play out the initial overs with the sun shining brightly.
However, Man of the Match Suranga Lakmal had different plans. Right from the outset, Lakmal meant business as he ended up recording his career-best figures of 4-13 as India were cleaned up for 112 in 38.2 overs.
