India face a spin test at Galle. Get our Sri Lanka vs India 1st Test prediction, confirmed lineups and best betting tips
India will commence their two-Test series against Sri Lanka in Galle on Saturday. With key players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane absent from the squad, the onus is on Shubman Gill, KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal to establish a solid foundation for India's batting lineup against a potent spin attack.
India's recent woes on turning tracks, with defeats to New Zealand and South Africa, add pressure to their upcoming tour. Sri Lanka, led by Dhananjaya de Silva and guided by former India coach Gary Kirsten, will rely on left-arm spinner Prabath Jayasuriya and a batting lineup keen on capitalizing on home advantage starting from the first session at Galle.
