It's Manish Pandey time!!

As mentioned in the previous slide, there are chances that Virat Kohli might be given a rest for this match. So, Manish Pandey is likely to take the skipper's place in the team and will bat at number 3. The Karnataka batsman is in a rich vein of form in this format and will look to continue it in the ongoing series against Sri Lanka.

Before the series, the selectors have said that they are going to try out KL Rahul at number 4 in the series. Though the right-hander played both his previous innings at number 4, he failed to make a big impact as he got out for a single-digit score in both the innings. As per the team management's previous experimentation, Rahul will bat at no. 4 in the fourth ODI.

Coming into the series, a lot of uncertainties were surrounding his future. But, the man has silenced his critics in style. MS Dhoni will continue to bat at number 5 in the fourth ODI.
