The match in Bengaluru that kicks off on Saturday will be the third day-night Test on Indian soil. The home team has a perfect record in pink-ball Test matches at home by registering two wins in as many games. India recorded an innings and 46 runs victory over Bangladesh in the first day-night Test match at Kolkata in November 2019, while a 10-wicket win over England in Ahmedabad in February 2021 was their second under lights.

In overall, India have won two and lost one in three day-night Test matches. Sri Lanka have also won two and lost one in three Test matches played under lights.
