India Prepares for Two-Test Series in Sri Lanka After Nine Years
India's cricket team returns to Sri Lanka for a two-Test series starting August 15, marking their first red-ball tour there in nine years. Historically, India has dominated Sri Lanka in Tests since 2008, with notable victories including a 3-0 sweep in 2017. The current squad, led by Shubman Gill, aims to continue this success amid changes since the last tour. Key players like Virender Sehwag, Virat Kohli, and Sachin Tendulkar have achieved rare double centuries against Sri Lanka, highlighting India's strong batting legacy on the island.
