India vs Sri Lanka 2nd Test Day 1: India win toss, elect to bat against Sri Lanka

India have a big chance to wrap up the series in Colombo. After taking the 1-0 series lead in Galle, India will like to post another win and seal the series. The 304-run win in the first Test, which was India’s biggest win overseas in terms of runs, was a perfect start to the series. Now, they need to build on that platform. But, it won’t be easy. Hosts Sri Lanka will look to turn around the fortunes after losing the first game and with the leadership now with Dinesh Chandimal, we can expect a few things. They may bring in the extra spinner for Colombo Test and look to unsettle the Indian batting which made merry in the first Test by scoring at a rate of close to 4.5 runs per over.
