The first test match was a sudden change in the game as the game changed in 2nd innings due to brilliant innings of Dinesh Chandimal, Bowling of Rangana Herath, and collapse of Indian batting line up. After the 1st match the Indians are trying to capture the win in the series. This will be a farewell match for the veretan Kumar Sangakara, so the Lankans will try to give a tribute to him with the series win.
The Indian team have many new faces in the side due to injuries, form etc. The left handed opener Shikhar Dhawan is ruled out of the test series due to fractured hand. So it will be a chance for KL Rahul to make a impact. Stuart Binny was also included in the side as an extra player which wil now occupy the place of Dhawan. Murali Vijay who was out in the first test due to hamstring is likely to return to the side. The no.3 position will be a question to be looked for !
Probable Playing XI :-
- Murali Vijay / Cheteshwar Pujara
- KL Rahul
- Rohit Sharma
- Virat Kohli (c)
- Ajinkya Rahane
- Wriddhiman Saha (wk)
- Harbhajan Singh / Stuart Binny
- Ravi Ashwin
- Amit Mishra
- Ishant Sharma
- Varun Aaron / Bhuvneshwar Kumar
The Srilankan team have a weak opening partnership due to lack of form. They have the good attacking captain Angelo Mathews who is a good with bat as well as handy with ball. Rangana Herath is an impressive bowler for the side as he can easily attack the batting side. In batting Kumar Sangakara & Dinesh Chandimal will be playing crucial roles. The veretan is retiring from all formats of cricket after this test match so it will be a prime opportunity to score well and retire well.
Probable Playing XI :-
- Kaushal Silva
- Dimuth Karunratane
- Kumar Sangakara
- Lahiru Thirimane
- Angelo Mathews (c)
- Dinesh Chandimal (wk)
- Jehan Mubarak
- Rangana Herath
- Kaushal
- Dhamika Prasad
- Nuwan Pradeep
