They have already foregone the opportunity to automatically qualify for the 2019 ODI World Cup by failing to win two matches in this series.That 5-0 win in 2014-15 was India's last ODI series whitewash. So far that experiment hasn't worked with Rahul returning scores of 4, 17 and 7 in his three outings.Oddly enough, Rahul has fallen to Akila Dananjay in all three matches. Manish Pandey's half-century in the fourth ODI gives the team additional leeway in this regard.Meanwhile, Sri Lanka are expected to make at least one chance to their playing XI. Skipper Upul Tharanga will be back in charge of affairs after sitting out the last two games owing to his suspension for slow-over rate. Most of all though, after two suspensions in three months, Tharanga will be looking to complete the 50 overs within the stipulated time.
