IND vs SL, 2nd Test: Shubman Gill Wins Toss & Chooses To Bat; Saransh Jain Handed Debut Replacing Kuldeep Yadav

India captain Shubman Gill won the toss and elected to bat first against Sri Lanka in the second and final Test of the series at the Sinhalese Sports Club in Colombo on Sunday. India entered the contest with a 1-0 lead after securing a 165-run victory in the opening Test in Galle.

The toss decision gives India the opportunity to put runs on the board on the Colombo surface and build early pressure on the hosts. Gill and his teammates will be aiming to carry forward the momentum from Galle and complete a 2-0 series sweep.

The major talking point in India's playing XI is the inclusion of Saransh Jain, who has been handed his Test debut. Jain comes into the side in place of Kuldeep Yadav, marking a significant moment in his career. The selection also gives India another spin option as the team assesses the conditions in Colombo.

With India already leading the series, Gill's side will now look to finish the tour on a high and secure a clean sweep. Sri Lanka, meanwhile, will be desperate to bounce back on home soil and prevent India from completing another Test series victory. The Colombo encounter is also a major opportunity for debutant Saransh Jain to make an immediate impact at the international level.
