IND vs SL 2022: 1st Test – Fantasy Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing XI Detail

India Sri Lanka Rohit Sharma Ajinkya Rahane

India will begin a new era under Rohit Sharma when they host Sri Lanka in a two-match Test series, starting March 4 (Friday) at the IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali.

It’s a fresh start for India in Tests – not just with Rohit Sharma taking over the reins of captaincy but also with several fresh faces taking over the mantle from the experienced ones.

India have had to make the tough decision to drop stalwarts such as Ajinkya Rahane, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ishant Sharma and Wriddhiman Saha as they look at the youngsters to usher in a new era of Test cricket.

The spotlight, however, will be on Virat Kohli who plays his 100th Test match. With the burden of captaincy off his shoulders completely, India will be looking at their talisman to not only rake up runs but also make up for the absence of Rahane and Pujara in the middle-order.

Sri Lanka, on the other hand, come into the series on the back of a six-game unbeaten run in Tests. But before them stands a team that they haven’t been able to conquer in away conditions.
