Kuldeep Yadav OUT Saransh Jain IN: Oldest players to make their Test debut for India listed

India's spin attack was shuffled for the second Test against Sri Lanka, despite a commanding 165-run win in the previous match in Galle. Saransh Jain, India's oldest Test debutant since Robin Singh in 1998, will make his debut at the age of 33 in Colombo. He has taken 188 wickets in 54 matches at a bowling average of 27.30 and scored 2,223 runs at 31.75, making him a genuine all-rounder.

Kuldeep Yadav was replaced in the attack, and his figures of 25-0-103-1 in Galle contrast sharply with Manav Suthar's 10-wicket haul and Ravindra Jadeja's four scalps.
