MS Dhoni being banned for two ODIs, its Virendra Sehwag who is going to be in charge for the Indian Cricket Team. Its is going to be a real test for the team under Viru when they take on Srilanka at Cuttack for the 3rd ODI. The series is already level with one match each won my either of the teams.

Yuvraj, who missed the first two games due to a finger injury and flu, still remains doubtful even though he has been retained in the 15-member squad. Hopefully he will play in the match at Cuttack. In Dhoni's absence, Tamil Nadu keeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik has been drafted into the side to do the duties behind the stumps, while S Sreesanth, who is recovering from swine flu, has been replaced with Ishant Sharma.

With the series locked at 1-1, the result of Monday's day and night Ind Vs Sl match will be crucial in the context of the outcome of the series.

Come on India, enough of this seesaw of one win one loss, in every series. Be consistent and make a clean sweep of the seires, and if you can win one you can win them all. Just go for it. Jai Ho.
