India vs Sri Lanka 1st Test Live Streaming: India take on Sri Lanka in the first Test of a two-match series at the Galle International Stadium, starting August 15. A home debacle against South Africa has left India fifth in the World Test Championship (WTC) standings, with series against New Zealand and Australia to follow. On their last Test tour of Sri Lanka nine years ago, India swept the three-match series, and Shubman Gill will be expecting similar dominance as his side looks to climb into the top two of the WTC standings. The absence of injured pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah has left India with a depleted pace attack led by Mohammed Siraj, who is likely to share the new-ball duties with Prasidh Krishna.
