Shikhar Dhawan says India are seeking complete mastery over defending totals, the ambition prompting them to make a "conscious" decision to bat first on winning the toss in a T20 World Cup year.
Invited to bat, India scored 201 for six before crushing Sri Lanka by 78 runs in the third T20 International here on Friday.
Dhawan said that as a unit, the team wanted to bat first.
"Today we wanted to bat first because we want to refine ourselves more while batting first and winning more games, so that brings more confidence," the opener said.
"So that is why, consciously, we are doing it and the result is in front of you that we are winning even while batting first.
"We are making (setting) big targets and that brings a lot of confidence to us as a team."
"As a team, we wanted to give chance to everyone and that's why they've been rotating players. Till World Cup comes, everyone is refined and know their job as well."
