India May Replace Kuldeep Yadav with Saransh Jain for Second Sri Lanka Test
India is considering dropping left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav for the second Test against Sri Lanka in Colombo after his modest performance in the first Test, where he took one wicket for 103 runs. Madhya Pradesh off-spinner Saransh Jain, who has been a strong performer in domestic cricket and was called up as a replacement for the injured Washington Sundar, is likely to make his India debut. India leads the two-match series 1-0 following their 165-run win in Galle.
