The second Cricket Test of the three-match series between India and Sri Lanka begins at the P Sara Oval ground in Colombo on Thursday. After suffering a shock defeat in the first Test in Galle despite dominating the match for a major part, India are looking to plug their loopholes and get their team combination right. The hosts, however, will be eyeing to give retiring legend Kumar Sangakkara a winning send off by clinching the game and the series, as it will be the 134th and final Test for the iconic batsman. Meanwhile, the BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur on Wednesday left for Sri Lanka where he will be meeting Indian cricket team's Director Ravi Shastri on the sidelines of the second Test. The official reason given for Thakur's visit is felicitating the retiring Sri Lankan legend Kumar Sangakkara on behalf of BCCI and the Indian cricket team.
