INDIA VS SRI LANKA

India vs Sri Lanka: 2nd Test Match Preview

India face Sri Lanka in the second Test of the 2026 series at the SSC, Colombo, from August 23–27, 2026. The match starts at 10:00 AM IST, with India leading the series 1–0 after a 165-run victory in Galle.

India will look to finish the series with a 2–0 sweep, with Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja and Jasprit Bumrah among the key players. Devdutt Padikkal's impressive century in the first Test also gives India another batting option.

Sri Lanka have a difficult task after losing the opener and missing several experienced batters. Dhananjaya de Silva, Kamindu Mendis and Prabath Jayasuriya will be crucial as the hosts look to fight back.

Spin could again play a major role as the match progresses. India have the stronger squad on paper, but home conditions could give Sri Lanka a chance if their batting holds together.
