Shubman Gill-led India will face Sri Lanka in the second and final Test of the series from Sunday (Aug 23), with the visitors aiming to end a long wait for an overseas series win.
India’s last Test series victory outside home conditions came against the West Indies in Jul 2023 and since then, they lost a series in Australia and drew series against South Africa and England. Their home defeats to New Zealand and South Africa also raised questions about the team’s red-ball form.
However, India bounced back strongly in the first Test at Galle, beating Sri Lanka by 165 runs despite facing a tough challenge from the hosts’ spinners. The win came as a major boost for Gill’s side and head coach Gautam Gambhir after a difficult period in Test cricket.
A 2-0 series sweep could further improve India’s position in the World Test Championship standings, as they could move up to fourth with 57.58 percentage points.
Bangladesh currently occupy fourth place with 66.67 points after their win over Australia in Darwin. However, they could drop to fifth with 55.56 points if they lose the second Test against Australia in Mackay.
