IND vs SL: India’s Predicted Playing XI Against Sri Lanka, India vs Sri Lanka, 2nd Test

1. Openers: Mayank Agarwal and Rohit Sharma

In the absence of KL Rahul, India persisted with Mayank Agarwal to open the innings with Rohit Sharma in the first Test. However, he once again failed to convert the start into a big score. Agarwal scored 33 off 49 balls in the last Test match. Shubman Gill is waiting for his opportunity but the team management is likely to persist with Mayank Agarwal for the next Test as well.
