Second test match between India & Sri Lanka begins tomorrow<br/>

The second test match between India and Sri Lanka is beginning in Colombo on Thursday. India is already 1-0 up in the series after winning the first match at Galle last week in three- match series. Though the final team will be declared on Thursday morning, captain Virat Kohli has strongly hinted for comeback of opener K.L.Rahul who missed the first test due to injury. In a pre match press conference, Kohli said he feels one of the openers will have to make way for KL as he has been an established opener. Abhinav Mukund had replaced Rahul in last match which India won by a massive 304 runs. For Sri Lanka, Dinesh Chandimal will make a comeback as captain as he was not fit for the Galle test. 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. The former has been ruled out of the series while it remains to be seen if veteran spinner gets fit for the test.
