India might have brought an inexperienced team to Sri Lanka, but that hardly made a difference in the series opener as they registered a thumping 7-wicket win over the hosts in the first ODI in Colombo on Sunday. Shikhar Dhawan, who became the 25th leader of India in the 50-over format, made a smashing captaincy debut and led from the front by top-scoring in their successful chase, apart from claiming a couple of important milestones along the way.
