IND vs SL: Aakash Chopra Predicts The Result Of The Second Test

The second Test between India and Sri Lanks starts from March 12 in Bengaluru. It’s a day-night Test match and former Indian batsman Aakash Chopra has already predicted the result of the Test match even before it started. Previously, India won the first Test by an innings and 222 runs with Ravindra Jadeja coming up with his career-best performance.

Ahead of the second Test, Aakash Chopra has spoken about various facets of the Test match. The 44-year-old in his preview spoke about the pitch and the batting conditions that will be on offer for the Pink-Ball Test.

“Win the toss and bat first. The grass on the pitch is just for show. It is said that the pink ball aids fast bowling. But when I read the pitch report, I realized that nothing like that is likely to happen. The first session will produce the most amount of runs as batting becomes difficult later as the ball moves under lights,” said Chopra.
