The series hadn’t deviated too much from the expected result, and with the fifth game remaining, the chances of a whitewash seem imminent. It isn’t just that India have been beyond exceptional or anything as such in particular, but Sri Lanka’s approach of not even putting up a decent fight has been the main reason behind this one sided contest outing.
For India though, the premier objective of the series was to test out the fringe players in a bid to assess the best possible combination for the 2019 World Cup. Just one player remains now to be tested for India in this series, and with the series already in the bag, we could well see that particular player getting a chance now.
When Virat Kohli steps out for the toss on Sunday, his goal would be to ensure a clean sweep victory over Sri Lanka, and for the very game, we have a look at the Indian predicted XI.
