The second Test between India and Sri Lanka starts on Saturday at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Having thrashed the visitors by an innings and 222 runs in the opening Test in Mohali, India will be confident going into the match in Bengaluru. Rohit Sharma-led India dominated with both bat and ball in the first Test last week, finishing it in just three days, and the skipper could be tempted to retain the same line-up. Batting first, India rode on Ravindra Jadeja's unbeaten 175 to declare their innings at 574/8. In response Jadeja starred with the ball too, picking up five wickets in the first innings and four wickets in the second to help India seal victory. During the first Test, Ravichandran Ashwin went past Kapil Dev in the list of highest Indian wicket-takers in Tests while Virat Kohli played his 100th Test match.
Here is the XI we feel will line up against Sri Lanka in the 2nd Test:
Rohit Sharma: The skipper will hope to play a big knock, having wasted a good start and departed for 29 in the Mohali Test.
Mayank Agarwal: Having made 33 in the first Test, this could be a chance for Mayank to post a big knock.
Hanuma Vihari:A patient player at the crease, Vihari is staking a serious claim for a regular spot in the Indian Test side.
