The cricket teams of India and Sri Lanka arrived here today for the second Test match, beginning Tuesday at Green Park Stadium.

However, the Indian trio of Vireder Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh and Gautam Gambhir have not arrived with the Indian team as they have gone to Delhi and will reach here tomorrow.

The teams landed in the city in the afternoon and amidst a tight security were taken to a city hotel.

The hotel staff welcomed the players by presenting them roses and putting on traditional 'tika' on their foreheads.

Indian run-machine Sachin Tendulkar was presented a memento for completing 20 glorious years in international cricket while skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni was welcomed with a big bouquet.
