Gill-led India eye revival in Sri Lanka Test series

Cricket is a sport where two teams take turns hitting a ball with a bat and try to score more runs than each other.

India's cricket team is getting ready to play Sri Lanka's cricket team in two big matches called a Test series.

This series is part of a big championship called the World Test Championship.

India used to be one of the best cricket teams in the world, but lately they have not played as well.

They lost two series at home and also lost a series in Australia.

Sri Lanka has not beaten India in a Test match in more than ten years.

India has won many more matches against Sri Lanka than Sri Lanka has won against India.

Once, Sri Lanka scored 952 runs in a single innings, which is still the highest score any team has ever made in Test cricket.

The first match starts on August 15, 2026, in a city called Galle.

India is expected to win, but Sri Lanka plays very well at home.
