The R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo is widely known for greatly benefiting spinners and we saw the Kuldeep Yadav show yesterday. The average score at this stadium is roughly 250 but the Indian batting order is in red-hot form and they have well adjusted to the condition of Colombo. There are no such demons on the pitch but still, the batters will attempt to be patient in the first innings.

India played a match yesterday and most probably they are going to make some changes in their playing 11 but India's bench has similar strength as their playing 11s had yesterday.
