The second cricket test between India and Sri Lanka will begin today in Colombo. India is already one up in a three-match series after winning the first test at Galle last week. Though the final team will be declared this morning, captain Virat Kohli has hinted for the comeback of opener KL Rahul who missed the first test due to injury.

The team is battling injuries as all-rounder Asela Gunaratne fractured a thumb during the first Test and veteran bowler and stand-in captain Rangana Herath also injured a middle finger. Gunaratne has been ruled out of the series while it remains to be seen if veteran spinner Herath gets fit for the test.
