Day-Night Test between India & Sri Lanka to be held in Bangalore, India eyeing fifth consecutive clean sweep series win under Rohit’s captaincy.
After Kolkata’s Eden Gardens Stadium and Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium, Bengaluru’s M Chinnaswamy Stadium is all set to host the third day-night Test match in India with the pink ball.
India has so far won both the day-night Tests on their soil and now the Indian team, led by Rohit Sharma, trampled Sri Lanka by an innings and 222 runs in the first Test of the series played in Mohali.
However, seeing the record of Day-Night Tests and the performance of Sri Lanka on this tour of India.
It will not be difficult to say that Team India is ready to clean sweep the fifth consecutive series under Rohit’s captaincy.
Earlier, under Rohit’s captaincy, India defeated New Zealand 3-0 in the home T20 series.
After that, the West Indies team that toured India was defeated 3-0 in the ODI series and after that in the T20 series also, the West Indies were wiped out 3-0.
After this, India defeated the Sri Lankan guests 3-0 in the T20I series. In such a situation, now Rohit would also like to win the first Test series under his captaincy as a clean sweep.
Hosts Dominance in Day-Night Tests: One of the best things about Day-Night Tests for cricket fans is that all the Day-Night Tests played so far have the results, that is, any Day-Night Test draws.
However, the hosts have dominated the day-night Test matches. So far 18 Day-Night Test matches have been played and out of these 16 have been won by the hosts.
There were only two Tests that the visiting team was able to win. Earlier, in the two day-night Tests held in India, the Indian team has also won.
The Sri Lankan team can challenge: The Sri Lankan team may have lost the Mohali Test within three days.
but its record in the Day-Night Test is excellent and on the basis of that record, the Sri Lankan team can challenge India.
No Day-Night Test has been played in Sri Lanka so far, but the Sri Lankan team has twice defeated opposing teams in their own hosted Day-Night Test matches.
However, the Sri Lankan team has also lost in a Day-Night Test played in Australia.
But, Sri Lanka is the only team that has defeated the opposition team in the Day-Night Test at their home and this thing can work to boost Sri Lanka’s morale.
Although Pakistan defeated West Indies in a Day-Night Test in Dubai, Pakistan was the host of this Test.
