India will begin its two-match Test series against Sri Lanka on Saturday at the Galle International Stadium.
After suffering 0-2 defeat to South Africa at home, Shubman Gill and Co. cannot afford any more slip ups and need a sweep to stay alive in the World Test Championship 2025-27.
A slew of injuries have hampered India in the lead up but an extended training period in Sri Lanka would put the side in position to perform well and aim for a win.
