Gambhir, Yuvraj Out of Second Test Against SL

Colombo: India dealt a big blow ahead of the second Test against Sri Lanka as Yuvraj Singh and Gautam Gambhir were ruled out at the eleventh hour.

Yuvraj has been ruled out due to high fever while Gambhir is out because of his injured knee.

Suresh Raina comes in for Yuvraj to make his Test debut. Murali Vijay will open the innings with Virender Sehwag.

On the other hand, home team Sri Lanka may face bowling woes after the retirement of Muttiah Muralitharan and the absence of Lasith Malinga.

However, the Indians may not take a sigh of relief as mystery spinner Ajantha Mendis comes in to the squad.

India cannot afford another slip-up because a 2-0 or 3-0 series scoreline in Sri Lanka's favour will remove Mahendra Singh Dhoni's men from the perch and lift the hosts to the top spot.
