No i didn't hear this, second string team
poor Indian team, they didn't deserve this lol
Its funny and kinda sad too, i do feel bad for Ranatunga as he led the World Champion team back in the days but it would be better if he wake up from his sleep. His recent statements coming out becaue of frustration IMO, so no one should give much footage to such statements.
Last i remember he was sacked due to corruption charges? Would be better if he and other legends start taking care of cricket in sri lanka instead of involving in politics and corruption.
Imagine what happens when the "second string" Indian team whitewashes them 3-0, and that too in their country. In that case, Sri Lanka should not be playing against India, right? Ranatunga seems to be bitter, because his political career ended prematurely and he seems to be going through "
na ghar ka, na ghat ka" phase of his life. He tried hard for a position within the SLCB, but was not successful in securing it. BTW, Sri Lanka is now demoted as the weakest test team in Asia, and even Bangladesh and Afghanistan have overtaken them.
Indian team got good mixture of international experience and IPL talent. Players like Dhawan, Chahal, Bhuvi, Yadav, Hardik , Pandey Ji got enough experience under their belt and on the other hand SYK, Prithvi, Paddikal, Gaikwad, Rana, Samson etc already proved themselves in IPL countless times. So chances are high of Indian team winning the series but cricket is game of uncertainty and Sri Lankans got 4-5 good players who can turn things around at home conditions.
The way i look at it both team has enough to gain with this series if they came out as victorious. From Indian point of view, new crop of players would get decent amount of experience, which is necessary and from Sri Lankan's point of view, well they already hit rock bottom of transition so they can only go up from here.
