Cricbuzz title sponsor of India-Lanka series

Indian Cricket Team is all set travel to the neighbour islanders, Sri Lanka for a three-Test series which is also the final series for the veteran Sri Lankan player Kumara Sangakkara. Be as consistent as possible and its a good challenge and good thing to have in a team, ” he said.

The series in Sri Lanka will give the team time to understand and evaluate their short and long term goals as a group in the longer format of the game.

Kohli, who is still relatively new to his role as the Test skipper, has already voiced his preference for playing five bowlers in the team.

“It’s going to be tough for us if India plays good cricket and it is playing well at the moment”. Colombo’s P Sara Oval will host the second test from August. 20, assuming added importance for being Sri Lankan great Kumar Sangakkara’s worldwide swansong.

However, white-ball duties are likely to keep him occupied for the first five months of 2016; India will play limited overs series against Australia and Sri Lanka in January and Feburary ahead of the Asia Cup, World T20 and Indian Premier League. They are a talented side. “Through the years, we have built a sizeable, strong and loyal user base, and with Cricbuzz being the top cricket app in the world, we will look to consolidate our position as the preferred destination for cricket”.

India Test cricket is going through a transformation period with Kohli at the helm and Vijay has high hopes from the young team.

“We are a close unit now and it has been two seasons that we have been playing overseas. The first time for us to play in the subcontinent and the home series coming up, so it’s going to be exciting time as a team and for every individual because it’s going to test our character and will be challenging overall”, he said.

It’s true that I didn’t do well in three innings in Test Cricket in 2012.

“I think I have always been that way”, Vijay said when asked of his positive approach.

“Now with more opportunities in the team, I am really enjoying my game”. I don’t like to go much deep into anything. “Every aspect has it’s own charm and challenges, so obviously we as a player have to lift our game according to the situation”, he said. This is so because since 2013 Sri Lanka has played 9 test matches at home winning 4 of them, losing 3 and drawing only 2 which show that getting results on those pitches is not that hard.
