India vs Sri Lanka 2009 ODI, Test & T20 Series Schedule

Overall, Sri Lanka’s tour of India seems to offer lots of exciting actions for the cricket lovers who always enjoy excitement during the matches; be it twenty20 or test match. Test cricket is currently facing a threat from the twenty20 format of the game in terms of popularity. No doubt, Indian cricket fans always love cricket and they have a huge fan base. Still, crowd turn out in the test series may not be very satisfactory, given the decreasing popularity of this version of the game. It may not be a major worry of concern for the TV channels and the organizers as the tour includes two Twenty20 matches as well as a three-match test series. So, TV channel and organizers can make some quick cash in through the twenty20 and ODI series in what could be a compensation for the test series.
