The hosts recorded a massive 222 runs and an innings win in the opening Test to take a 1-0 lead.

New No. 03 batsman Hanuma Vihari and flamboyant wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant scored the fifties, while star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was simply superb.

Pitch Report and Conditions
The pitch at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru will allow for good stroke play and the batsmen will find it easy to hit on the surface. The surface will not provide much support for bowlers and wicket taking will be difficult. The average 1st innings result at this venue over the last 5 games is 212 runs. Chasing a goal should be the preferred option at the venue as the team that bats first has only won 20% of their games.
The venue caters to both pacers and spinners.
Head to Head
In the 45 games between these two teams, India has won 21 games and Sri Lanka has won 7 games. India batters have earned the most fantasy points for their team, while wicket-keepers have earned the most fantasy points for Sri Lanka.

Dream11 Prediction: Batters and Wicket Keepers
Dimuth Karunaratne
Dimuth Karunaratne has scored 55, 48, 230, 184,244 runs in his last 5 tests respectively and therefore we can expect him to recover in this test. For context, he played 2 Pink Ball Tests and scored a total of 230 runs in them.
Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma has netted 29, 115, 102, 76 and 113 runs in his last 5 Tests against Sri Lanka respectively. In terms of his overall form, he's averaged 108 fantasy points over his last 10 tests, which is a great number.
Dream11 Prediction: Bowlers
Lasith Embuldenija
Lasith Embuldeniya has played 14 career Tests and won 64 wickets which is a very good record. He may be a bowler, but in his last 6 tests he's hit 124 runs, which is more than handy and thus can give extra fantasy points.
Mohammed Shami
Mohammed Shami is one of those fast bowlers who has a better record home than away. In his last 6 home Tests he has won 3, 2, 7, 5, 3 and 5 wickets respectively.
Suranga Lakmal
Suranga Lakmal has a decent record in Pink Ball Tests as he has won 13 wickets in his 3 games.
Dream11 Prediction: All-Rounder
Ravichandran Ashwin
Ravichandran Ashwin is in great form with both bat and ball, having won 21 wickets and hit 220 runs in his last 6 Tests. In addition, he has won 5, 8, 4 and 6 wickets respectively in his 4 Tests at this venue.
Ravindra Jadeja
Ravindra Jadeja had a fantastic match in Test 1 as he ran 175 and also won 9 wickets so should be a must. For context, in his 3 tests at this location (Bengaluru), he took 6, 7 and 4 gates respectively.
Dhananjaya de Silva
Dhananjaya de Silvas rans/wickets in his last 5 Tests have been 31/1, 157/0, 62/1, 43/1 and 166/1 and as such has awarded fantasy points with both racquet and ball.
