Gambhir joins fellow opener Virender Sehwag and fast bowler Zaheer Khan on the sidelines and he is set to return home to rest ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy, which gets underway later this month.
"Gautam Gambhir has strained his groin muscle and has been advised rest for ten days," a BCCI statement read.
Some hours later, the Indian board confirmed that Delhi batsman Kohli, who has played five One-Day Internationals scoring one half-century, would be replacing Gambhir, travelling to Sri Lanka as soon as possible.
