With the three-match Test cricket series already in the bag, a ruthless India will aim to continue their domination in the third match, beginning in Pallekele on Saturday, as they eye a historic whitewash over the hosts. Virat Kohli's men have vanquished the Islanders in the first two Tests, posting easy wins through all-round performances. In the first Test at Galle, India registered a 304-run triumph, while in the second Test at Colombo, the size of victory became bigger -- an innings and 53 runs. The second Test also witnessed India defeating Sri Lanka by a margin of an innings in Sri Lanka for the first time. If India win the third Test, they will win nine Tests in Sri Lanka, the most by a visiting side. The gulf in quality between the sides has been huge. While India boast a squad of settled personnel who are competing for the last two to three years and are on top of their game, the Sri Lanka side is looking thin on international pedigree post the retirement of some of their biggest players.
