Bangalore: Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid will look to extend a sequence that began under the previous management team of Virat Kohli and Ravi Shastri as India go into the second Test against Sri Lanka determined to complete a hat-trick of victories in pink-ball, day-night Test cricket at home.

Under Kohli, India swept to commanding wins against Bangladesh in Kolkata (November 2019) and England in Ahmedabad (February 2021). The two matches combined ended well inside five days. While the former was set up by pace, the England triumph was fashioned by spin, and left-armer Axar Patel in particular.
