India despite losing the closely fought series to Australia, is still in a very good position to win the series and will start the series as the favouriates. The Srilankan attack is no the same the same as the Australian attack and the Indian Batsman wont show any mercy to the bowling. One bowler to contend with is Muralitharan who is a proven match winner worldwide, eventhough he is not so successful against India.
Secondly, the series can also witness great koncks from Sachin Tendulkar who is fresh from his 175 in Hyderabad. What a talent he is? One double hundred and he is on the way to complete 13000 runs in this series itself. If India win this series, they will also have a chance to improve their ICC Test Ranking in which it is languishing at No. 3.
