India vs Sri Lanka 2nd Test Live Streaming
- The Green Park has 20 Tests so far, of which 12 have been drawn. Recent games have been more result oriented, though, with only three draws in the last seven Tests.
- India have a good record here, winning three of the last six Tests and drawing the others. The last time they lost in Kanpur was way back in 1983, against West Indies.
- Samaraweera averages a cracking 115.33 against India in Sri Lanka but has a measly average of 22.40 from six innings in India. Muralitharan's bowling averages too are similarly skewed: He averages a poor 42.58 from 12 innings in India.
- Virender Sehwag averages 50 in five Tests against Sri Lanka, but only 18.66 in two games against the same team at home. Of his 400 runs, 251 came in one Test.
- These two teams played each other only once in Kanpur, in 1986, and it was a high-scoring draw. They couldn't finish even the first innings; Sri Lanka were all out for 420 and India were 676 for 7 when the curtains fell on the Test.
- In 20 Tests at this ground, only once has the team winning the toss chosen to field - India did it way back in 1964, in a drawn game against England.
