India Prepares for Second Test Against Sri Lanka with Focus on Spin Bowling
India is preparing for the second Test against Sri Lanka at Colombo's Sinhalese Sports Club, focusing on countering left-arm spin after their 165-run win in Galle. Captain Shubman Gill trained extensively against left-arm spin, while KL Rahul and Kuldeep Yadav rested during practice sessions. Despite Kuldeep's modest performance in the first Test, team management supports him. Spin-bowling coach Sairaj Bahutule confirmed no injuries for rested players, and the team is adapting strategies ahead of the series decider starting August 23.
