Dominant India aim for clean sweep vs Sri Lanka
August 12, 2017  09:31
Welcome to the coverage of the third and final Test between India and Sri Lanka in Colombo, on Saturday.

Virat Kohli and his men, who have taken an unassailable 2-0 lead, will be aiming to become the first Indian team to complete a whitewash in an overseas three-Test series.

India have won the first two Tests by comprehensive margins -- by 304 runs in Galle and an innings and 53 runs in Colombo.

Interestingly, Sri Lanka has decided to roll-out a green pitch loaded in favour of the seamers with an aim to salvage some pride from the inconsequential game.

Kohli could play his third specialist seamer in Bhuvneshwar Kumar in place of the suspended Ravindra Jadeja. However, he might come in for all-rounder Hardik Pandya, with chinaman Kuldeep Yadav playing as the second spinner along with Ravichandran Ashwin.

The 28 Tests in which he has captained India so far, Kohli has not fielded the same playing eleven and trend looks likely to continue.
