India vs Sri Lanka 2017: India's probable playing XI for the 2nd ODI

Even the staunchest of Sri Lankan followers wouldn't have imagined the Indian batting to struggle as embarrassingly as they did in the first ODI. Was it not for MS Dhoni's obstinate knock, the side would not have even reached the three-figure mark.

Under a new captain, the Indian side will try to shrug off the hugely disappointing loss at Dharamsala soon, as they head to Mohali for the second game.

Here's how India's line-up could look like for the second game:

Rohit Sharma got off to his India captaincy debut in the worst possible way, watching his side tottering at 16-5. India's 24th ODI captain himself couldn't get going, struggling for a scratchy 13-ball 2, before being a red-hot Suranga Lakmal's first victim.

There will be added pressure on him to step up his game in the second ODI, the load mounting on the top-order with the fragile middle-order not holding up well.

Shikhar Dhawan had been on one of his career crests after making his comeback with the Champions Trophy and flattened the Sri Lankan lineup on their own home soil earlier this year. However, he blew hot and cold during the ODI series against New Zealand, as well as the Sri Lanka Test series that followed, something that has been a characteristic of his career.

In the first ODI, he succumbed to six-ball duck, which was the starting point for India's humiliating collapse over the next 16 overs. He might have to be cautious in the initial overs if he intends to shrug off this minor blip.
