WITH INDIA losing the India Vs Australia 2009 series 4-2, India would very badly want to bounce back strongly in the India Vs Srilanka 2009 series which starts on November 16, Friday. Sri Lanka team has arrived in India on Sunday, November 8 and will play 3 test matches, 5 ODIs and two twenty20 matches against India.

Sri Lankan Captain Kumar Sangakkara would want to win the first ever test series in India and Indian Skipper MS Dhoni would want to keep the record of not losing a test series in India intact.
