IND vs SL 2nd Test: The second Test of the two-match series between India and Sri Lanka will be played in Bengaluru on Saturday. India have taken a 1-0 lead in the series and looks good to carry the lead forward.

Former skipper Virat Kohli is on a quest to score his 71st International century. He scored his last Test hundred 28 months back, thus, he would be itching to make a massive difference in the performance, in terms of batting. Today, he returns to his "other home", Chinnaswamy Stadium. Kohli's IPL home ground will definitely help the champion in scoring some runs.
