BENGALURU : Indian captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bat first in the second and final match of the two-test series against Sri Lanka on Saturday, a day-night match in Bengaluru.

2nd Test: India look to wrap up series against injury-hit Sri Lanka

Yet, the format has yielded its place at the top to the slam-bang version which now fills the international calendar, thanks to increased spectator interest. Day-night Test matches were one of the solutions introduced in 2015 to revive its fortunes. Relatively new, the format has added some zing to the five-day version, since all 18 matches played under lights so far have yielded results. Indeed, one of the flip sides of Test matches under lights is that none of them have been played on all five days. Match No. 19, between India and Sri Lanka, which gets underway at the M Chinnaswamy stadium here on Saturday, could well be another bar in that statistic.

India vs Sri Lanka, Day/Night Test: Will Jayant get another chance or one among Siraj or Axar feature in the playing XI?

Rahul Dravid and skipper Rohit Sharma are firm believers in continuity but it will be interesting to see their plans for the playing XI when the team takes on Sri Lanka in the Day/Night game starting Saturday in Bengaluru. The weakest link in the playing XI is Haryana off-spinner Jayant Yadav but it didn't matter much as India won in a canter by an innings and 222 runs. Jayant bowled a total of 17 wicket-less overs across two innings while Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin shared 15 of the 20 wickets among themselves.

Rohit Sharma-Led India Pursue Series Sweep vs Sri Lanka In Pink Ball 2nd Test

India will be strong favourites to stay unbeaten in pink-ball Tests at home as new captain Rohit Sharma eyes a clean sweep of Sri Lanka in the second Test starting Saturday. The hosts thrashed Sri Lanka inside three days in Mohali to lead the two-match series 1-0 and the visitors need to quickly get their act together under the lights in Bangalore. The world's top-ranked all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja hit an unbeaten 175 and took nine wickets to stand out in Rohit's first Test since replacing Virat Kohli as captain in all formats earlier this year. "Rohit, we all know how tactically strong he is and how good he is. But I saw a lot of human elements in the way he led the side," off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin said this week.
