Kusal Mendis to replace Nissanka – In what comes as a body blow, it has been reported that in-form batter Pathum Nissanka is highly unlikely to feature, as he has sustained an injury. Thankfully for the Lankans, experienced keeper-batter Kusal Mendis is fit to play this match.

Could Jayawickrama be the X-Factor? Besides Mendis, Praveen Jayawickrama could also be handed a place in the team. The left-arm spinner could replace Lahiru Kumara who had a horrendous outing in the first Test. Check out why Jayawickrama could make the cut:
- The pitch at Bengaluru historically aids spinners more than pacers.
- India played two spinners in Mohali Ravi Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja both picked a lot of wickets
- Dushmantha Chammera is suffering from ankle pain and is likely to not play the second Test
- Praveen Jayawickrama is in good form in Test matches. He has played three games
- He has picked up 18 wickets in those matches. Indian batters have not seen much
