It’s time for another D/N Test which has everyone excited. The first match was a very one-sided encounter and everybody knew what was on the cards for that game. Ravindra Jadeja had a ball in that game as a true all-rounder. Rishabh Pant had a blinder too as he tormented Lasith Embuldeniya and co. for a flurry of 4s and 6s.
The good news for India is that another spin all-rounder in Axar Patel is fit and would be looking to make the cut in the Playing XI. He was in top form in the last home series for India and will be looking to replicate that success.
Sri Lanka have had plenty to ponder about, irrespective of the format they play in. Their issues have gotten bigger with Lahiru Kumara being unavailable due to a hamstring tear while Dushmantha Chameera, who is managing his ankle injury, has been advised against playing by the medical team. The only good news for them is that Kusal Mendis is fit.
India and Sri Lanka have both played 3 D/N tests with both winning 2 games and losing 1. This Test will also mark as the last Test for Suranga Lakmal who will then focus on County cricket in England.
