India set to take on Sri Lanka in Day-Night Test
The second Test between India and Sri Lanka in Bengaluru is going to be a Day-Night Test. It will be the team's fourth Pink-Ball Test, and third one at home.
So far, India have won two of the three Day-Night Tests they have played in.
The hosts will come into the final match of the two-game series with a 1-0 lead, having beaten Sri Lanka by an innings and 222 runs in the first Test in Mohali.
Ravindra Jadeja was the star of the show in that game, scoring an unbeaten 175 and taking nine wickets in the match, including a five-wicket haul in Sri Lanka's first essay.
This will be the Indian team's final assignment before IPL 2022. In the T20I series preceding the Tests, the hosts had whitewashed Sri Lanka 3-0.
