5 things to remember about India's previous Test tour to Sri Lanka

#2 3 Test debuts but for nothing

Raina became the 12^th Indian to score a Test ton on debut

The series also saw 3 new players taking guards and starting their Test careers. In the very first Test of the series, Abhimanyu Mithun, a player who has plied his trade in the IPL made his Test debut. He played only 4 Test matches in all these years.

The second Test had two more debuts. For India, Suresh Raina, who had been playing ODIs since 30 June 2005, made his debut.

Incidentally, the 2nd test match ended exactly 5 years from his ODI debut i.e. on 30 June 2010. Though he scored a Century on his debut, he has failed to nail down a permanent spot.

For Sri Lanka, Suraj Randiv made his debut in this match and took 11 wickets in 3 innings courtesy to 9 wickets in third test. His success against Indian batsmen earned him a place inf the final of the World Cup 2011, when he was picked a day before final from nowhere. However, his test career like the other two has been quite short and he has not played a single test since Nov 2012. He played only 12 tests in his career,
