India May Replace Kuldeep Yadav with Saransh Jain for Second Test vs Sri Lanka
India is considering a change in its playing XI for the second Test against Sri Lanka in Colombo, with Kuldeep Yadav likely to be replaced due to his underwhelming performance in the first Test at Galle. Saransh Jain, a 31-year-old off-spinner and all-rounder from Madhya Pradesh, is expected to make his India debut. Jain has a strong domestic record and was called up as an injury replacement. India leads the two-match series 1-0 after their 165-run win in Galle.
