First Test match between India and Sri Lanka to begin in Mohali tomorrow

In cricket, the first Test of the two-match series between India and Sri Lanka will begin tomorrow in Mohali. The first Test will mark the beginning of newly appointed full-time skipper Rohit Sharma's journey as the leader of the Test side.

Virat Kohli, on the other hand, will represent India in the cricketing whites for the 100th time. The home side has a few records to extend as it enters the Test series.

So far, India have played against Sri Lanka 20 times at home, with the former emerging victorious on 11 occasions while the remaining nine ended in draws.

Sri Lanka is yet to defeat India in Tests in India, a run which Rohit will look to continue in the upcoming series.

In another interesting statistic, a win for India will help them become the only team to register 21 Test wins against Sri Lanka.
