Kohli has not scored a century in international cricket for the last two years, so it is expected that he will score a century in the second Test against Sri Lanka.

 

Rishabh Pant, who scored a brilliant 96 in the first Test at number 5, will be seen playing. At the same time, number 6 Shreyas Iyer is sure to get a chance.
