(PTI Photo) Hi and welcome to India Today's live coverage of the India vs Sri Lanka XI, warm-up Day 2 in Colombo. Aug 8, 2026 09:04 ISTIND vs SLC XI Live: India set to bat on Day 2Day 2 is about to get underway in Colombo, with India preparing to come out to bat after the Sri Lanka XI's innings is wrapped up. The big positive for the visitors is that Shubman Gill is likely to take the field today and could be part of India's batting order after missing the opening day following a blow to his right ring finger in practice. KL Rahul led India on Day 1, but the return of Gill to the middle would be a welcome development with the first Test approaching. The visitors will now look to make the most of a batting-friendly surface and give their batters valuable time in the middle after spending almost the entirety of the opening day in the field. Aug 8, 2026 08:56 ISTIND vs SL XI Live: Will Gill play?Here comes the big question of the morning: will Shubman Gill finally get his bat in hand? ?? The India captain missed Day 1 after sustaining an impact injury to his right ring finger during Thursday's practice session, with the BCCI Medical Team keeping a close watch on him. KL Rahul led India on the opening day, but with India now set to bat, Gill's availability suddenly becomes the headline. If he's fit, this warm-up could finally give Gill some much-needed time in the middle ahead of the first Test in Galle. If not, India will have to manage without their captain once again. We're waiting for that team update... Aug 8, 2026 08:52 ISTIND vs SL XI Live: Day 2 action coming upAnd we're back! India had a bit of everything on Day 1. Sri Lanka XI raced away after a strong opening session, with Nishan Madushka and Ravindu Rasantha putting India's pace attack under pressure before the visitors finally found their rhythm. Manav Suthar and Kuldeep Yadav then changed the script, picking up two wickets apiece as India fought their way back into the contest. Sri Lanka XI eventually closed Day 1 on 363/8, leaving India with plenty to do once they get their turn with the bat. But there's another storyline to keep an eye on today. Shubman Gill missed the entire opening day after hurting his right ring finger in practice, with KL Rahul leading India in his absence. Will the captain be fit enough to walk out when India's innings begins? That's the question everyone will be watching closely.
