The third Cricket Test between India and host Sri Lanka will begin in Kandy today. The match, to be played at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, will start at 10 a.m. Holding a two-nil lead after winning the first two matches by comprehensive margins, Virat Kohli and his men stand on the cusp of history, aiming to become the first Indian team to complete a whitewash in an overseas three-Test series. India won the first Test by 304 runs in Galle and the second match in Colombo by an innings and 53 runs. India have never won a full Test series abroad, 85 years since their debut in 1932. At home, India have played only four series where they have won all Test matches. Two such series were under Mohammed Azharuddin's captaincy when they won 3-0 against England in 1993 and an identical margin versus Sri Lanka in 1994.Under Mahendra Singh Dhoni, India outplayed Australia 4-0 in the 2013 home series while Kohli led the side during the 3-0 rout of New Zealand, last year.
