Welcome to the coverage of the third and final Test match between India and Sri Lanka in Colombo, on Friday.

Wicketkeeper Naman Ojha will make his Test debut, replacing Wriddhiman Saha, who returned home after the second match because of injury.

He was handed his Test cap by captain Virat Kohli as he becomes the 285th player to represent India in Test cricket.

Meanwhile, India goes into the third and final Test hoping to register their first series victory in the island nation in 22 years.

Having registered his first Test victory as captain, after India humbled the Lankans by 278 runs in the second Test at the P Sara Oval last week, Virat Kohli is on the cusp of claiming his maiden rubber as well.

It was Mohammad Azharuddin who, in 1993, last led an Indian team to a Test series triumph (1-0) on Sri Lankan soil.
