India predicted XI for second Test against Sri Lanka
Saransh Jain set to debut as India prepare for Colombo Test after Galle victory.
Lower order/bowlers: Saransh Jain, Manav Suthar, Prasidh Krishna, Mohammed Siraj
Manav Suthar took 4 for 76 and 6 for 55 in the first Test, claiming 10 wickets across both innings. His exceptional performance on the spin-friendly Galle wicket has made a strong case for his continued selection. Kuldeep Yadav bowled 25 overs in the first Test but took only 1 wicket for 103 runs and looked clueless on the spin-friendly wicket, making him vulnerable to replacement.
Saransh Jain is likely to make his debut in the second Test in Colombo, expected to replace Kuldeep Yadav. Prasidh Krishna took three wickets in the first Test and will be retained in the bowling attack. Mohammed Siraj took two wickets and provides experienced support to the pace bowling unit.
India's predicted XI for the second Test:
KL Rahul, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Devdutt Padikkal, Shubman Gill (c), Dhruv Jurel, Rishabh Pant (wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Manav Suthar, Saransh Jain, Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj.
