IND vs SL 1st Test Day 1 Live Score: India won the toss and elected to bat in the first Test against Sri Lanka in Mohali today. Rohit Sharma begins his journey as India's red-ball captain. The limelight will also firmly be on Virat Kohli, who is set to play his 100th Test match. India have been in stellar form in white-ball cricket at home, steamrolling New Zealand, West Indies and then Sri Lanka in limited-overs cricket but this will be their first red-ball assignment at home this year. Rohit has gotten off to a great start as a white-ball captain and if he can replicate the same in Test cricket, India's chances of making it to the World Test Championship final for the second time in a row will be bright. There are no Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane in this squad and the likes of Hanuma Vihari and Shubman Gill will be looking to cement their places in the side. As far as Sri Lanka are concerned, they are still searching for their maiden Test win on Indian soil. (LIVE SCORECARD)
