Led by captain Shubman Gill, India will travel to Sri Lanka aiming to strengthen their chances of reaching the World Test Championship final.

A masterful 168 by left-handed batter B Sai Sudharsan helped India A take a commanding 175-run first-innings lead against Sri Lanka A on day three of the second unofficial Test in Galle on Saturday.

A fluent century from Sai Sudharsan and unbeaten fifties from skipper Dhruv Jurel and Shaik Rasheed put the India A firmly in control at 333 for four on the opening day of the unofficial Test series against Sri Lanka A on Thursday.

Head coach Gautam Gambhir's vote of confidence has given young Sai Sudharsan freedom to express himself, something that comes with a lot of mental assurance.

India head coach Gautam Gambhir said that Sai Sudharsan was unfairly removed from India's Test team after failure in England.

India's assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate conceded that too many players have batted at number three in Test matches after Cheteshwar Pujara's retirement and it was time that either Sai Sudharsan or Devdutt Padikkal is given a long rope at the key batting position.
