Sri Lanka must be sick of the sight of Ravindra Jadeja, who ripped them to shreds with both bat and ball to leave them staring down the barrel of another chastening whitewash. The Lions need to produce something spectacular under the floodlights in Bangalore, and you can read on as we explain how to watch an India vs Sri Lanka live stream and catch all the cricket action online no matter where you are in the world.

India needed just three days and 125 overs to wrap up the first Test, during which Jadeja took nine wickets and scored 175 runs. It was a peerless display that rather stole Virat Kohli's thunder on the event of his hundredth cap.
Back in the picture for this day-night Test after a bout of Covid is Axar Patel, yet another source of dread for Sri Lanka. They'll recall with clarity the wonders the left-arm spinner worked with the pink ball during India's last day-night Test, where he took six wickets against England.
In the first Test, Pathum Nissanka and Niroshan Dickwella were the only men to break half-centuries for Sri Lanka, who entered this series atop the World Test Championship standings. They look set to come out of it a long way down the pecking order.
Unless, of course, they pull some magic out of the hat over the next few days. Follow our guide for all the details you need to find a reliable 2022 India vs Sri Lanka Test live stream and watch every session online from anywhere.
