SL vs IND My11Circle Prediction Picks

India's skipper Shubman Gill and Sri Lanka's opening batter Nishan Madushka will be the top picks for the IND vs SL My11Circle prediction. While Gill has been fantastic in Tests over some time now, Madushka looked in form during the warm-up game.

Meanwhile, India wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant will be a good risky pick for this game. Pant plays an aggressive brand of cricket and can give a lot of fantasy points on his day. Sri Lanka's primary spinner Prabath Jayasuriya can also be an option as he is a genuine wicket-taker in these conditions and has played a lot of games here.

SL vs IND My11Circle Win Prediction

Although India have been dismal over the last few Test matches, they will begin this series as favorites given the overall head-to-head record between these two sides. India have their problems against spin bowling but they have prepared well before this series.

Apart from their captain, the Men in Blue will expect the openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul, two of the best Test batsmen going around, to give their team a solid start. In the bowling department, spinners will be expected to do the bulk of the job with Manav Suthar coming with lots of expectations.

For Sri Lanka, it will be a challenge, however, they will be looking to exploit India's recent weaknesses against spin. They have a batting line-up with Nishan Madushka at the top. However, the focus will be on their spinners, who will be a big threat to India. With history on its side, Team India will be expected to take a 1-0 lead in the series, as per our SL vs IND My11Circle team prediction.
