India will begin the Test series on August 15 at the Galle International Cricket Stadium. The second Test will begin on August 23 at the Sinhalese Sports Club in Colombo. Shubman Gill's side, which is currently at fifth in the World Test Championship standings, will be hoping to clinch the series and boost their chances.
Captain Shubman Gill is set to bat at No. 4, with Rishabh Pant continuing as the first-choice wicketkeeper. Dhruv Jurel is expected to travel as the reserve keeper, while Devdutt Padikkal offers additional batting depth.
Saransh Jain has impressed during the India A tour of Sri Lanka, claiming six wickets and scoring an unbeaten 70 in Galle. His off-spin could prove valuable against Sri Lanka's left-handed batters.
Batters: Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Shubman Gill (c), Sai Sudharsan, Devdutt Padikkal
All-rounders: Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Saransh Jain, Washington Sundar (subject to fitness for the second Test)
Biggest Selection Dilemmas Facing Ajit Agarkar and the Selectors
Chief selector Ajit Agarkar and the selection committee are facing injury concerns. Jasprit Bumrah, Washington Sundar, Sai Sudharsan, and Ravindra Jadeja are all under medical observation, while Harshit Rana and Nitish Kumar Reddy are unavailable because of injuries.
Washington Sundar is also unlikely to feature in the opening Test after suffering a hamstring injury. The all-rounder could join the squad for the second Test if he clears the required fitness tests.
