India, who most recently whitewashed Sri Lanka 0-3 in the T20I series, will be looking to extend their winning streak in the upcoming two-match Test series as well starting from March 4 in Mohali.
Captain Rohit Sharma, who will be leading India for the first time in Test cricket, would also be looking to extend his winning spree as a captain. It is noteworthy that India haven’t lost a match since Sharma has taken over the reigns from Virat Kohli as a full-time captain.
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, have won just one out of their last eight international matches. With a significant change of format (T20I to Tests), the visitors would be keen to return to winning ways. In what is easier said than done even against a new-look Indian squad, Sri Lanka would be desperate to register their maiden Test victory in India.
