"Would Beat India In India Inside 3 Days": World Cup-Winning Captain's Explosive Remark
NDTV
Arjuna Ranatunga has made a bullish claim regarding the current Indian side in Test cricket.
Team India went 12 years without losing a Test match on home soil, until the streak was brutally ended by New Zealand in October 2024. In recent months, India have suffered a drastic dip in form in Test cricket, going on to lose 0-3 at home to New Zealand and then 1-3 away against Australia. In light of the situation, Sri Lanka's 1996 World Cup-winning captain Arjuna Ranatunga has stated the current Indian side would be easy pickings for that great Sri Lankan side, to the extent that India would lose inside three days at home.
Ranatunga was bullish that the present Indian batting lineup would not be able to cope against the likes of Chaminda Vaas and Muttiah Muralitharan in their prime.
"With bowlers like (Chaminda) Vaas and Murali (Muttiah Muralitharan), that team of mine would have beaten India in India in three days," said Ranatunga, speaking to The Telegraph.
India's sudden downfall in form in the longest format has led to questions being raised against the management led by Gautam Gambhir as well as the captaincy of Rohit Sharma.
