India in Sri Lanka, 2012

Virat Kohli's dramatic rise as a batsman has left the Sri Lankan team in search of a new strategy, according to opener Tillakaratne Dilshan.

Tiwary said his stint with the national team over the past year has helped him mature as a cricketer as he has now learnt to deal with various match situations.

With the T20 World Cup looming large, this match assumes significance for both Sri Lanka and India.

Angelo Mathews, who captained the hosts in the absence of Mahela Jayawardene, and his team mates were an over short in Saturday's match, the ICC said in a statement.

India won the final ODI against Sri Lanka by 20 runs to finish the series on a 4-1 note and in doing so, they rose to second in the ICC ODI team rankings.

Ravichandran Ashwin believes that India is prospering as a team and that there is no need to single out any individual.

India will be hoping to end the series on high while the hosts will be gunning for redemption having already lost the 5 match series.

Kumar Sangakkara suffered a fracture to his little finger on his right hand in the third ODI against India and is ruled out of action for four to six weeks.

An unbelievable opening spell by Thisara Perera with some brilliant support by Angelo Mathews wrecked the strong Indian batting line-up and set up a comfortable 9 wicket victory for Sri Lanka with more than 30 overs to spare

Rohit Sharma's failure in recent times reminds Ajith R of Mohammed Kaif. Will Sharma too be forgotten soon? He might be, if he doesn't pull up his socks and do justice to his ability.
