India Seeks Series Sweep Over Injury-Hit Sri Lanka in Second Test at Colombo
India leads the two-match Test series against Sri Lanka 1-0 after a 165-run win in Galle and aims for a 2-0 sweep in the second Test at Colombo's Sinhalese Sports Club. A series victory would mark India's first overseas Test series win since 2023 and improve their World Test Championship standings. India faces a Sri Lankan side weakened by injuries to key batsmen. Skipper Shubman Gill and opener Yashasvi Jaiswal seek significant contributions, while India's spin attack, including Manav Suthar, remains a key strength on spin-friendly pitches.
