India cricket coach Greg Chappell is in high spirits after the scintillating performance of his boys in the first one-day international against Sri Lanka on Tuesday.

India, powered by fine knocks from Sachin Tendulkar, Irfan Pathan and Rahul Dravid, thrashed the Lankans by 152 runs to go one-up in the seven-match series.

Speaking to rediff.com on phone from his hotel, after the team reached Chandigarh on Wednesday afternoon, Chappell said the team is bracing for another good showing in the second one-dayer, a day-night game, at Mohali on Friday.

"All that I can say is that we will try to repeat the performance of Nagpur in Mohali," he said, declining to answer more questions.

"We have decided to answer all questions at the press conference and would not be answering individual phone calls from journalists," he added.

Sri Lanka coach Tom Moody and captain Tom Moody too refused to answer phone calls.

'Sorry sir, they have put the no disturbance sign on their phones,' the operator at the hotel said.
