IND vs SL Dream11 Prediction, Sri Lanka Tour of India, 2022, 1st Test - Fantasy Cricket Tips, Probable Playing XI, Pitch Report, Player Records, Stats, Injury and Match Updates.

After the conclusion of the T20I series, India and Sri Lanka are set to lock horns in a Test series. The India vs Sri Lanka Test series will witness two matches. The first Test of the bilateral series will start from Friday, March 4 at the PCA IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali.
Sri Lanka, who currently leads the World Test Championship 2021-23 points table, will have a tough task against India. This is a special Test for the former India captain Virat Kohli, who is going to represent India for the 100th time.
The team will be missing the services of Ajinkya Rahane, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ishant Sharma, and Wriddhiman Saha, which means many several youngsters will get a chance to make an impact.
Sri Lanka have been a formidable team in sub-continent conditions, but are still winless on Indian soil. They will be looking to register their registered victory in their first match.

Pitch Report
The pitch at the PCA IS Bindra Stadium is a good one for 5-day match. It was one of the fastest tracks in India, however, it has slowed down in recent times. The surface here often offers help to the batters. While seamers garner swing in the initial overs, spin comes into play in the later days of the game.
