Colombo | India skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and elected to bowl against Bangladesh in the Asia Cup Super 4 match here on Friday.

India made wholesale changes to their playing XI, resting Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav.

Tilak Varma was handed ODI debut while Mohammed Shami, Prasidh Krishna, Shardul Thakur and Suryakumar Yadav were also drafted in for their inconsequential Super Four clash.
