India have always had the upper hand in the IND vs SL Test rivalry.
India and Sri Lanka have shared a long and largely one-sided history of success in Test cricket. Since their first Test meeting back in 1982, the two teams from the subcontinent have produced several memorable contests, especially on Sri Lankan soil.
Sri Lankan tracks are often considered among the greatest spin-bowling tracks, and India have impressed with their ability to counter spin on such challenging pitches.
Overall, out of the 47 Test matches played between the two teams, India have won 23, Sri Lanka have won only 7, while 17 matches have ended in a draw.
