Preview:
India lock horns with Sri Lanka in the 2nd match of this Test series. Sri Lanka were outclassed by a relentless Indian attack that picked up 16 wickets on the third day of the Mohali Test to go 1-0 up in the series. Ravindra Jadeja finished with a 9-wicket haul, adding to his 175 with the bat headlining a comprehensive victory. That loss meant Sri Lanka have slipped to 3rd position in the WTC points table with 2 wins and 1 loss in 3 matches.

IND vs SL, 1st Test Pitch Report:
The surface here is a pretty balanced one with something in it for both the batters and bowlers. The first session will be the easiest phase to bat and the pacers will enjoy bowling in the twilight session of the day which happens to be the 3rd session. Both teams will prefer to bat first.
