When asked about the pressures of playing ODI after a long time, Chahal said: "I'm playing an ODI series after so long, but we've already played here -- two practice matches. We've been practicing early in the morning so that we get used to the heat. It'll be totally different compared to 20 overs where we're on the ground for three, three-and-a-half hours." "I've played for five years, 50-plus matches, so I'm used to all this. This is not an excuse or something. Now, when I bowl, I just focus on how to get batters out. That's it. I have a couple of variations and I'm focusing on that only, not using other deliveries. You will see a more confident Yuzi in this series. I'm just working on my angles and in general, trying to bowl more," he added.

Team India's white-ball squad trained in Colombo for the first time last Friday as the Dhawan-led squad geared up for the upcoming limited-overs series in the Island Nation. Earlier, in the pre-departure press conference, Dravid had said that he hopes the white-ball squad is able to give good performances so that they are able to knock the doors of selectors for a call-up for the T20 World Cup which is set to be played later this year in UAE.
