IND vs SL LIVE SCORE: Saransh Jain's long wait is over. The 33-year-old Madhya Pradesh all-rounder makes his Test debut after more than a decade on the domestic circuit. Since his first-class debut in 2014, the off-spinner has taken 188 wickets ans scored 2,223 runs in 54 matches. He was Player of the Series in 2025 Duleep trophy and starred in Madhya Pradesh's maiden Ranji Trophy triumph in 2022.

Despite centuries from Dimuth Karunaratne and Kusal Mendis, Sri Lanka fell for 386 second around as India completed a crushing innings and 53-run victory.

IND vs SL LIVE SCORE: Sarfaraz Khan's comeback may remain limited to the squad for now. He replaced the injured Sai Sudharsan, but Devdutt Padikkal's 167 in Galle has locked down No.3, while Dhruv Jurel strengthened his claim at No.6 with a fluent 51. Unless India decide to alter their batting combination, there appears no vacancy for Sarfaraz despite his reputation as an excellent player of spin.

IND vs SL LIVE SCORE: India have a fascinating selection call: persist with Kuldeep Yadav or hand Saransh Jain a Test debut. Kuldeep managed only one wicket from 25 overs in Galle, while Jain has been heavily involved in the Colombo nets. Sri Lanka are expected to field for left-handers, strengtheing the case for Jain's off-spin. Gautam Gambhir has kept “all options” open, with India focused on picking an attack capable of taking 20 wickets.

IND vs SL LIVE SCORE: India have played nine Tests at Colombo's Sinhalese Sports Club, winning three, losing two and drawing four. Their recent record is particularly impressive: India won by 117 runs here in 2015 before crushing Sri Lanka by an innings and 53 runs in 2017. The venue also witnessed India's mammoth 707 in 2010, their highest-ever total in Sri Lanka.

IND vs SL LIVE SCORE: Prabath Jayasuriya remains Sri Lanka's biggest threat after taking four wickets in India's first innings at Galle, while captain Dhananjaya de Silva will have to shoulder greater responsibility with the bat. Keshara Nuwantha, who claimed three wickets on debut, is another player to wacth. With Kusal Mendis, Dinesh Chandimal and Pathum Nissanka unavailable, Sri Lanka need their senior players to deliver.

IND vs SL LIVE SCORE: Devdutt Padikkal and Manav Suthar will carry plenty of attention after starring in Galle. Padikkal struck a superb 167, while Suthar's 10-wicket match haul dismantled Sri Lanka. Shubman Gill remains the pillar of this batting line-up, while Ravindra Jadeja's all-round influence could become increasingly important if the SSC surface begins offering significant assistance to spin.

IND vs SL LIVE SCORE: India made a commanding start to the series with a 165-run victory in Galle. Devdutt Padikkal's superb 167 laid the foundation with the bat before left-arm spinner Manav Suthar took over, completing a sensational 10-wicket match haul. Sri Lanka were unable to recover from India's sustained pressure, leaving Shubman Gill's side one win away from a 2-0 sweep.

IND vs SL LIVE SCORE: India have already drawn first blood in the series, but the job is not done yet. Shubman Gill's side will be hunting a 2-0 sweep after their emphatic victory in Galle, while Sri Lanka need a response to keep the contest alive. With conditions at the SSC likely to bring spin into play, another demanding five days could be in store.
