Tomorrow the test series between India and Sri Lanka will start and the 1st test will be a very momentous occasion for India as the former captain Virat Kohli plays his hundredth test match. This series is also the start of a new era in test cricket for India as Rohit Sharma will captain India in test cricket for the first time.
India will be looking to start off on a good note under the leadership of Rohit in test cricket and also they will hope Virat Kohli will return to form and make the celebration of his hundredth test even more enjoyable.
Sri Lanka will be looking to continue their good form in the test having beaten West Indies but they will know it won't be easy to beat India in India and also this Indian side that has been dominant for a while.
I think both teams will go with their strengths considering the conditions will be familiar to both teams.
