Rohit Sharma, meanwhile, will be gearing up for a fresh start when he embarks on his first match as India Test captain, taking over from Kohli.
Kohli had stepped down as Test skipper following India’s 2-1 series defeat against South Africa in the Rainbow Nation.
Shubman Gill and Hanuma Vihari will look to seal their place in the side in the absence of Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane, who were dropped for this series after a disappointing outing in South Africa. Kohli will be India’s number four batter, while Rishabh Pant could bat at number five.
Two players between Shreyas Iyer, Hanuma Vihari and Shubman Gill will fill the number three and number six batting slots. Rohit Sharma and Mayank Agarwal look like the potential openers for India. Pacers Mohammad Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami failed to make much of an impact against South Africa, and will be looking to regain their rhythm.
Sri Lanka will be hoping their spinners like Jeffrey Vandersay and Praveen Jayawickrama stand up to the occasion, while skipper Dimuth Karunaratne would want his batters to fire in unison.
