Pallekele Test: India win toss, elect to bat first against Sri Lanka
Kuldeep Yadav replaced Ravindra Jadeja who has been suspended by the ICC after his accumulated demerit points reached six within a 24-month period following his latest breach of the ICC Code of Conduct for which he received a 50 per cent fine and three demerit points.
Sri Lanka made a number of changes due to injury issues.
Lakshan Sandakan, Kumara and Fernando replaced Rangana Herath, Nuwan Pradeep and Dhananjaya de Silva in the Sri Lankan team for the final test match.
India has already won the test series 2-0.
