The Indian cricket team may have lost the first Test despite dominating it for most parts. Ahead of the second Test vs Sri Lanka though, the cricketers are in no mood to repeat their mistakes and were seen sweating it out on the eve of the match in Colombo. (All images courtesy AFP)

"We definitely have it in us to bounce back. There is no point thinking about or living in the past. More often than not, if you dominate six sessions, it means that you are on top in the Test match and you should be able to win the game but that wasn't the case," Kohli said in the pre-match press conference.

With Shikhar Dhawan out of the Test due to injury, a lot will depend on how Murali Vijay takes on the Sri Lankans.

Stuart Binny has been called in to replace Dhawan. The all-rounder is seen bowling at the net session here.

Another man in focus would be Lokesh Rahul. He failed to make a mark in the first Test and would be itching to make up for it in the second.

Team Director Ravi Shastri is seen here with Cheteshwar Pujara. He has already promised that his team won't let go of its aggressive brand of cricket. "We won't change our style of play. It will be exactly like how it was in the first match," he was quoted as saying in media reports.

Amit Mishra too has promised to go hard at Kumar Sangakkara who is playing his farewell match. "We have seen his (Sangakkara's) videos and we will definitely discuss more about him in the team meeting. We will discuss how to bowl at him," he told reporters.

Another man who is looking to prove a point is Rohit Sharma. He failed to fire in the first Test. Will he continue to hog the No. 3 position or will he experiment and come after Virat Kohli?
