IND v SL Match Preview:

Everyone in the batting lineup contributed in the last match. Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja have upped their game in the last year or so. All eyes will be on Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli - the two veterans who haven't scored big runs in a while. 

Axar Patel is expected to replace Jayant Yadav in the playing XI. Mohammad Siraj could replace one of the two pacers, only if the team wants to manage the workload. 

Sri Lanka's batting didn't click in either of the innings. Dimuth Karunaratne is a crucial batter at the top.

Since Lahiru Kumara is unlikely to play, Chamika Karunaratne is expected to replace him. Lasith Embuldeniya would need a spinning partner; Praveen Jayawickrama might come into the playing XI.
