India vs Sri Lanka, 1st Test Probable Playing XI - A Change In Batting Lineup

By Sahil Mathur March 03, 2022 • 14:48 PM View: 2987

IND v SL: The first test match between India and Sri Lanka will be a historic one for Virat Kohli as he will step out on the test jersey to play his 100th test. Interestingly, Kohli will also play his first test as a regular player after 2015 since Rohit Sharma will be leading the side for the first time in his Test career.

With the arrival of Rohit as the test captain, two major changes that the Indian team has done is not selecting two stalwarts of Indian cricket - Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane. The sacking of two veterans means two vacant spots in the batting lineup - number three and four.
