India Seeks Series Sweep Against Sri Lanka in Second Test at Colombo
India aims for its first overseas Test series win in three years as it faces Sri Lanka in the second and final Test at Colombo's Sinhalese Sports Club from August 23. After a 165-run victory in the first Test at Galle, India seeks a 2-0 series sweep to improve its World Test Championship ranking. Sri Lanka faces challenges with key batsmen sidelined, while India’s captain Shubman Gill and opener Yashasvi Jaiswal are expected to contribute significant runs amid ongoing concerns about batting vulnerabilities against spin bowling.
