Ever since the retirement of the likes of Sangakkara and Jayawardene , SL seem to have hit rock bottom . They seem to have had too many changes in their team over the last few months . Even though Sri Lanka managed to beat Pakistan in UAE .
Indian team is good enough to whitewash SL team again in the upcoming test series .
The likes of Rahane and Rahul didn’t get to play in the series against New Zealand .
In a way ,the upcoming series might be good for the likes of Rahul ,vijay and rahane to get some match practice before the tour of South Africa provided they do not get to play the one day and T20 matches against Sri Lanka before the tour of South Africa .
Indian team seem to have separate bowling attack for the test format , the likes of Shami and Yadav and Ashwin will also get some decent match practice .
This series would just be one of those series ,where fans would just check the score on an cricket app instead of watching the series on television.
India vs Sri Lanka – A series with little interest among fans
Back in 2011 , When Indian team had probably the best batting line up with the likes of Tendulkar , Dravid and Laxman , That was the probably the first time , A team from subcontinent was considered favourites to win a series in England and yet Indian team were white washed by the poms .
After that India went to play couple of series at home before the tour of Australia . Despite the horrible result of India tour of England , India were again considered favourites to win a series in Australia but they performed miserably .
Now Ajinkya Rahane claims that Indian team can dominate in overseas .
On paper Indian team may have all the bases covered , and one area where the Indian team has improved immensely is the bowling department, Having said that , It remains to be seen whether Indian team can perform well in overseas , but they are capable of performing well in overseas just like the Indian team in 2011 .
It’s important that a player should not get carried away by the success against mediocre teams and make a statement about dominating in overseas .
If a team from subcontinent managed to win a series in overseas, that would be incredible for test cricket but it takes a special effort from the team to do so .
You should always let your performance do the talking !
