Kuldeep or Saransh? The subplot thickens as Colombo braces for a different script

Kuldeep Yadav’s absence from India’s final training sessions has intensified the selection intrigue ahead of the Colombo Test, with Saransh Jain’s strong showing in the nets and Sri Lanka’s left-hand-heavy batting line-up adding weight to the off-spinner’s case. The second Test between India and Sri Lanka will start from Sunday at the Sinhalese Sports Club ground in Colombo.
