Mahendra Singh Dhoni is back at the helm and he will not be taking things lightly.
dhoni plays football
The Indian captain completed his two ODI ban for slow overrate and although he missed the match that sealed the series against Sri Lanka, Dhoni believes that his team is geared to do better than the 3-1 scoreline after four ODIs against Sri Lanka.
Although it was expected that India would roll in some changes for the match that is of only academic interests as far as the series results go, Dhoni, who takes over from Virender Sehwag, has ruled out changing the team inside out, indicating that perhaps there will be, at the most, two changes for the fifth ODI in New Delhi on Sunday.
But even as India look to finish on a high note, they will know they still have work to do with the ball as well as their fielding and catching which has been far from desirable from the team looking to occupy the top perch for a longer run.
