Opener Gautam Gambhir has asserted that India will find a way to tackle the spin duo of Muralitharan and Mendis at Galle.

India takes on Sri Lanka at Galle in the second Test starting July 31 after suffering an innings defeat at Colombo in the first Test.

But Gambhir is confident that Team India will be ready to battle in Sri Lanka's backyard.

"We had a bad Test but now we are very positive. We want to come hard at the Sri Lankans. They have a quality spin attack. Muralitharan is a legend. It will be a fantastic battle because we have guys who can play good spin," Gambhir said.

The Delhi lad said his priority was to "give a good start and convert it into a long innings".

He also inisted that the both the Lankan spinners wer "not unplayable".

"You have to bat according to your strength. Mentally you have to be very sound when your are playing at this level. The wicket looks similar to the one in Colombo," he said, adding: "What has happened is history. We want to just focus on the next Test match with an aim to win it."
