But they will also be concerned about the batting performance of their rivals who are also in great batting form.
The first of the five-match series was played in Rajkot and India had won the thriller by a wafer thin margin. Team India is leading the series 1-0.
The match will be remembered for high score. Both the teams piled up humongous score, but it was India that was lucky enough to pull out a spectacular win.
Once again, swashbuckling Sehwag entertained the audience with sixes and fours. His spectacular innings helped India set a historic target. Ball by ball update
It is expected that second ODI will drew huge crowd as Sri Lankans will do their best to trounce India. Though they are without their star bowlers, the team has enough talent to throw a challenge to India.
Also, prepared are Dhoni’s men, whose confidence is high after their win. It would be a treat to watch the match.
Earlier, the match was planned to be held at Visakhapatnam, but was shifted to the orange city because of the agitation in Andhra Pradesh over the proposed bifurcation of Telangana.
Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni must be worried about his bowlers performance in the last one day international. No one was able to make any impact on Sri Lankan batsmen.
