Rohit Sharma has said that playing Sri Lanka at home will be a challenge for the Indian team as they have some good spinners who can utilize the sub-continent pitches effectively.

"Every batsmen has different approach to a spinner. But as batting unit our aim is to dominate and play positively. All our batsmen have good technique to play the spinners but it will be a challenge we can't deny that," he said. 

"The trend we have been following in the last couple of years playing outside India that we have to change a little bit for sure. When we play abroad we have to play a lot of fast bowling and when we are in sub-continent we have to play a lot of slow bowling.

"When we go to Sri Lanka we need to sit down and plan, understand how we need to go forward and I am sure all of us will try to put the right foot forward because Sri Lanka at home really play well.

"They have got couple of good spin bowlers who can a little bit of damage. But our batsmen have faced these challenges before and we have experience so that shouldn't be a problem," Rohit said.
