INDIA

India will lock horns with Sri Lanka in the first of the two-Test series. India was the runners-up in the 2019-21 World Test Championship, while Sri Lanka finished eighth among nine teams. It will be Rohit Sharma’s first series as Test captain. 

India is coming off a painful 1-2 loss to South Africa in their previous Test series and they will be looking to move up in the World Test Championship table with a big victory at home. India has dropped the experienced batters Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara after their poor form in the last two years and has invested in youngsters to do the job instead. 

Indian batting will see two major changes, the number 3 & 5 spot. There is a good chance Shubman Gill and Hanuma Vihari will be given a go in these spots. R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja will be back as the spinners. Jasprit Bumrah will be leading the pace attack.
