India skipper Virat Kohli won the toss and elected to bowl against Sri Lanka in the first Twenty20 International in Guwahati on Sunday.
Pacer Jasprit Bumrah, who was out of action for four months due to stress fracture in his back, returned to the Indian side as the hosts picked three specialist pacers for their first match of the new year.
Rain has delayed the start of the first T20 International between India and Sri Lanka here on Sunday.
The rain extended the fans' wait to see the return of India's pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah from a four-month injury layoff. It started with a drizzle before the rain got heavier at the Barsapara Stadium.
