Spin troubled India in recent home Test series against New Zealand and South Africa, and the team will be eager to adjust to Sri Lankan conditions.Captain Shubman Gill, KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal have already practised against spin before travelling to Colombo. However, batting on Sri Lankan pitches in match conditions will provide a better test.Chance for bowlers to adjustIndia's bowling attack will also look to get used to local conditions. With Jasprit Bumrah unavailable because of injury, Mohammed Siraj will lead the pace attack. He will be supported by Prasidh Krishna, Gurnoor Brar, Manav Suthar and Saransh Jain.Brar and Jain impressed while playing for India A against Sri Lanka A in Galle last month and will be hoping for more valuable time in the middle.Gambhir wants team to be readyHead coach Gautam Gambhir urged the players to make full use of the preparation time."We know what is in front of us. We can do volume, we can push our limits, we can tick all the boxes and come 15th morning whether we are batting first or bowling first we will be absolutely ready with every answer to every question thrown at us."So make sure to tick all the boxes from now on."The biggest challenge for India, however, could be the weather.
