Delhi: There was a time when the Indian team was also considered extremely difficult to defeat the Test match at home, but recently there has been a decline in Team India’s performance. Team India has been criticizing a lot after suffering a 3-0 defeat in the domestic Test series against New Zealand. Subsequently, in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, India also lost 3–1 against Australia.
Meanwhile, former Sri Lankan captain and 1996 World Cup winning player Arjun Ranatunga has given a big statement. He claims that if he had a team captained, he would have defeated India on his own land in just three days. In a conversation with ‘The Telegraph’, Ranatunga said, “If our team (Chaminda) was a bowler like Vas and (Muttiah) Muralitharan, we could have defeated India within three days.”
At the same time, Ranatunga believes that the current Sri Lankan team is also as strong as his generation teams. However, he probably forgot that recently Australia defeated Sri Lanka 2–0 on his land.
Ranatunga further said, “There is a lot of talent in the Sri Lankan team of this time. If you look at the 1996 team, only Arvinda (D. Silva) was a few places above the current players. ” He also targeted the Sri Lankan Cricket Board (SLC) and said that corruption in the board is the biggest problem of cricket in the country.
