13:43 IST Virat Kohli imparting a few words of wisdom to the team before the second ODI.
Welcome to inUth’s live digital coverage of India vs Sri Lanka 2nd ODI at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, Pallekele. It is a well-known fact that India’s tour of Sri Lanka has been a one-sided affair so far. There has not been one single day that Sri Lanka has looked as if they have dominated the visitors. But, they are in a rebuilding phase and still possess an element of surprise which might turn the tables in the second ODI.
Sri Lanka have to believe in themselves. They were the only team to beat India in ICC Champions Trophy 2017 during the group stages.
Will Manish Pandey return?
Manish Pandey has been out of the Indian side for almost a year now. Though he will find it tough to make it back into the ODI side with KL Rahul and Kedar Jadhav in the middle order. Though he may get a nod ahead if Kohli looks to experiment with the team combination.
Pitch Report:
The pitch is supposed to help the spinners when the ball gets old. Though it will remain a batting paradise for the most part of the day. Expect a huge total on the scoreboard if India bats first.
