Top 3 Indian Players Who Could Make Comeback in SL vs IND Test Series

The Indian Cricket Team is all set to play a two-match Test series against Sri Lanka in August, which will be an important one for both sides, considering the World Test Championship. The first match of the SL vs IND Test series will be played from August 15 at Galle, followed by the 2nd Test from August 23 at Colombo.

As the announcement of the India Test squad vs SL is approaching, several Indian players are dealing with injuries and might not be included in the squad or have delayed participation, subject to fitness. This has made it possible for some of the star Indian players comeback in the Test team. Let's find out who is likely to make a comeback in this Test series.

Top 3 Players to Make a Comeback in SL vs IND Test series

The management of the Indian Cricket Team will be looking forward to bringing their core players for the SL vs IND Test series while facing fitness and injury issues of some players. Here are the top 3 players who could make it into the side:

1. Jasprit Bumrah

The yorker King, Jasprit Bumrah, is likely to make a comeback in the side after dealing with an injury on the last tour. The best test bowler in the world is currently on rest, and his participation will be subject to fitness. Bumrah could play a very important role for the side in this series and is expected to make a comeback in the longest format of the game after almost 8 months.

2. Ravindra Jadeja

The left-arm orthodox all-rounder, Ravindra Jadeja, has a very high chance of making a comeback in the Indian Test team after almost 8 months. He could replace another all-rounder, Nitish Kumar Reddy, in the side and considering the spin-favoured conditions in Sri Lanka, Jadeja will be very deadly in those conditions with both bat and ball.

3. Sarfaraz Khan

The most unexpected name who could make a comeback in the Test side is Sarfaraz Khan, who played his last Test match against New Zealand in November, 2024. As Sai Sudharsan's availability is also subject to fitness, and if he doesn't make it to the side, the management should back Sarfaraz Khan, who is a good player of spin and has an exceptional record in Test cricket.
