Nagpur: Skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni was banned for next two ODIs against Sri Lanka for India's slow over-rate in Friday's game.
The entire Indian team has also been penalised 40 per cent of their match fees for the slow over-rate.
Virender Sehwag will lead the team in Cuttack and Kolkata.
Dinesh Karthik has been called in as replacement for Dhoni and join the Indian squad soon.
The thrilling second one-dayer ended about 45 minutes after the scheduled finish time because of frequent discussions between the Indian players during the closing stages of Sri Lanka's chase, prompting the International Cricket Council to impose the ban on the Indian captain.
The decision to ban Dhoni was taken by match referee Jeff Crowe of New Zealand, considering the quantum of extra time the Indians took to complete their allotted overs.
The five-match series is currently tied 1-1 after India won the first match in Rajkot by three runs, while the Sri Lankans snatched a thrilling three wicket victory in the second game here on Friday.
