India Vs Sri Lanka LIVE Score, 2nd Test 2026: Can A Colombo Win Further Boost IND’s WTC Hopes?

Welcome to the live coverage as India and Sri Lanka lock horns for the second and final Test at the historic Sinhalese Sports Club Ground in Colombo, the visitors hold a crucial 1-0 lead in the series. Shubman Gill’s men secured a comprehensive 165-run victory in Galle, powered by Devdutt Padikkal's magnificent century and Manav Suthar's stellar bowling performance. Heading into this fixture, a resilient Sri Lanka faces an uphill battle after being forced into multiple squad alterations. Already missing key contributors, the hosts suffered a severe blow with veteran Dinesh Chandimal ruled out due to concussion protocols, alongside lingering injury concerns for Kamindu Mendis. Consequently, uncapped or fringe options like Kamil Mishara and Sahan Arachchige are expected to step into a depleted batting lineup. Meanwhile, India enters the contest full of confidence, needing just a draw to seal the series. Their spin attack, led by Ravindra Jadeja and Suthar, will look to exploit Colombo's traditionally spin-friendly surface. Sri Lanka must muster an inspired turnaround to level the series.
