‘SRI LANKA NEED SUITABLE PITCHES TO TROUBLE INDIA’
Sri Lanka can trouble India in the upcoming Test series only if they prepare favourable pitches for their bowlers, reckons Gautam Gambhir. Sri Lanka are facing a crisis after an embarrassing 2-3 series defeat against Zimbabwe in the ODIs. They managed to pull off a face-saving win in the one-off Test. “India start as favourites because they are world No 1 and Sri Lanka, the way they have played, they don’t have bowling to trouble India. The only way Sri Lanka can trouble India is to prepare wickets which work for their bowlers,” said Gambhir. “The only way Sri Lanka can compete is if they can get 20 wickets and to do that they need to have pitches in their favour.”
