Nagpur: India Vs Srilanka Second Test

  • Ishant Sharma and Murali Vijay in playing eleven
  • Second test between India and Srilanka at Nagpur.
  • Pace friendly Pitch at Nagpur.

India Vs Srilanka second test Nagpur preview


India must have realized that they cannot be complacent against Srilanka after the frist test. Though India recovered well and almost won the match in Second innings, Srilanka dominated first innings. India will stand a chance to rectify the mistakes of first test. They are with strong will to win the second test. As there is lot of grass on the wicket, which will assit pacers for atleast two days.

Shikhar Dhwan in place of Murali vijay

Shikhar Dhawan has opted out of test match due to his sisters marraige. This will allow Murali Vijay chance to open the batting. Murali vijay is  technically mucgh better player than Dhawan. Bhuvaneswar Kumar is another player who opted out of test match due to his marraige. Ishant Sharma is gainer of this. He is the most likely person to play in Bhuvi’s spot. He recently picked 20 wickets in four matches. The real fight lies between spinners. Jadeja was not able to impress the spectattors with both bat and ball. Kuldeep Yadav might get a go considering pitch conditions.

VIjay to make debut?

All rounder from Tamil Nadu, Vijay Shankar might replace Bhuvaneswar Kumar. We all know that hardhik Pandya has requested rest for Srilanka series. Vijay Shankar scored century recently in three matches he played. He also picked up 6 wickets. He is known to bowl good line and length.

Where to watch India Vs Srilanka?

Srilanka

Srilannka dominated greater part of first test. First test definetely increased confidance of Srilanka. They are once again reliant on Suranga Lakmal. Gamaga might lose his spot to Viswa Fernando.

                                                        One more series between Srilanka and India will commence today. India is in sheer confidence after winning one more series against new Zealand. Now they will play one more time against Srilanka. Recently India concluded Srilanka tour by winning every game. India won all the 9 games in all the formats. India will look to play with same intensity as they have series against South Africa ahead. India will play three tests, Three ODI’s and three T20’s against Proteas.

Shikhar Dhawan or KL rahul
Either KL Rahul or Shikhar Dhawan will get to chance to play as Rehane cemented his place in test match. Rohit Sharma is yet make in to core team. He will have a chance only if India wish to play with seven batsmen. Which they did when they last played n similar conditions. So either Ashwin or Jadeja will play the test. Ashwin is just eight wickets away from reaching his personal mile stone of picking 300 wickets. He will look prove audience as his place might be in jeopardy as Young leggies Kuldeep and Chahal are lurking for test sports. Saha has become integral part of test team retirement of MS Dhoni. Pujara will follow openers and be followed by Virat Kohli. Hardhik Pandya has opted to rest. He admitted that he struggled with fitness after play continues cricket.
Srilanka have also refueled their confidence after winning test series against Pakistan away from home. Their impact at international level has diminished after retirement of legends like Kumara Sangakara. Onus will be huge on Angel Mathews and Rangana Hearth under the leadership of Dinesh Chandimal. Only two of fifteen men Srilanka team has prior experience playing in India. Srilankan team Management has said that Mathews will not take bowling responsibilities.
What to expect
Centuries from Kohli and Pujara.
