SriLanka beat us by 8 wickets in the first game.
This is what happens when you put in a 24year old average side into play. Everyone was looking at 300 score and in the end could only make 147, which too they should thank the tailenders for.

Sehwag is btw out of the whole series. So he is not going to be there for opening. (I dunno why we are pinning the defeat on this fact, Sehwag is anyway not going to make runs now that he has made some in the tests ) Gambhir is at his vintage best. How many times we have seen the guy show promise and then put in terrible performances to get a kick on the back side

The next match is again on the same pitch. No Sehwag, No Sachin, another 24year old side. Another mauling expected
