Prior to this, on August 13, the 28-year-old, had posted another photo and captioned it as: "It's lovely to be able to be next to the nature. Good day everyone."

India with their explosive batting line-up with the likes of Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Kohli, Dhoni and Hardik Pandya are ready for another series victory.

On the other hand, Sri Lanka will be looking for redemption in the ODIs under their new captain Upul Tharanga after Angelo Mathews stepped down from the post of captain after a historic series defeat at the hands of Zimbabwe.

"Sri Lanka have always been stronger in the white-ball format, and I am confident that we will come out strong and beat India," Tharanga said.

However, the eighth-ranked ODI side do not have history on their side. They were swept aside by India 5-0 in their last ODI series in 2014, and more recently bowed out of the Champions Trophy in England in the first round.
