A young Indian side, led by skipper Virat Kohli will aim to clinch the three-match Test series, when they take on Sri Lanka in the series decider at the SSC stadium here in Colombo.

The tourists came back strongly after their humiliating loss at Galle, defeating the hosts by 278 runs in the second Test at P.Sara Oval, thus spoiling the farewell party of veteran Kumar Sangakkara.

As far the playing XI is concerned, Naman Ojha is likely to replace injured Wriddhiman Saha while Cheteshwar Pujara is almost certain to open the innings along with K.L Rahul.

Meanwhile, Upul Tharanga is all set to replace Sangakkara in the Sri Lankan line-up.
