New Delhi: The first one day international between India and Sri Lanka is scheduled to take place in R Premdasa Stadium, Columbo in Sri Lanka today. The three match series will be a test for the new captain Shikhar Dhawan whose team will be tested on the turning pitch.

In a pre-match press conference, Dhawan said that having as many as six spinners in the Indian limited-overs squad for the three ODIs and three T20Is against Sri Lanka does not mean everyone will get an opportunity and confirmed that only the best will get to play as the team is aiming to win both the series.

"We have not thought on who will play how many matches. [We will play] the way a series is played. Our goal is to win the series. We have to field the best playing XI. We will play the spinner we feel will perform the best. It is not like that if we have got these many, we will play all of them," said Dhawan in response during an interaction with the media on Saturday.

India are in Sri Lanka with leg-spinners Yuzvendra Chahal, Rahul Chahar and Varun Chakravarthy, off-spinner Krishnappa Gowtham, left-arm spinner Krunal Pandya and Chinaman Kuldeep Yadav.
