India Team News & Playing 11
IND Team News
Axar Patel missed the First Test in Mohali due to a shin injury but has been declared fit and has returned to the squad ahead of this game. We expect to see him come in for Jayant Yadav, who went wicketless in the last match, as the only change to the XI.
IND Key Players
- Virat Kohli - The former captain hit 45 before being bowled by Lasith Embuldeniya in the First Test. His 45 runs took him beyond 8000 Test runs.
- Ravindra Jadeja - The all-rounder produced a fantastic performance with bat and ball in Mohali. He scored 175 not-out and took 9 wickets.
- Ravichandran Ashwin - The experienced off-spinner picked up 2 wickets in the first innings and took 4-47 in the second innings of the First Test.

Sri Lanka Team News & Playing 11
SL Team News
After being thrashed in the opening Test, Sri Lanka will be looking to produce a far more compact performance in Bengaluru. Promising young batter, Pathum Nissanka, hit 61 not-out in the first innings in Mohali but is unlikely to play in this game due to a back injury.
SL Key Players
- Niroshan Dickwella - The keeper-batter took one catch in Mohali and produced a battling 51 not-out in the second innings to prolong the match.
- Dimuth Karunaratne - The captain contributed scores of 28 and 27 in the First Test. He was in excellent form in 2021 and his team need some big scores from him in this game.
- Lasith Embuldeniya - The spinner conceded 188 runs from 46 overs last week. He began the game well and dismissed Mayank Agarwal and Virat Kohli.
SL Team Form
Sri Lanka were very poor in the First Test but have a good recent record in the format.
Sri Lanka Predicted Playing 11
Dimuth Karunaratne (c), Lahiru Thirimanne, Charith Asalanka, Kusal Mendis, Dhananjaya de Silva, Angelo Mathews, Niroshan Dickwella (wk), Lasith Embuldeniya, Suranga Lakmal, Vishwa Fernando, Lahiru Kumara
