India will take on Sri Lanka in the second Test match which is set to be played on Sunday. India will be led by Shubman Gill and they have a strong squad for this series. They won the opening match of the series comprehensively and will be keen to get a whitewash. On the other hand, Sri Lanka will be looking to put up an improved performance in both departments. This should be an excellent game.
