India Better Prepared Than Sri Lanka For The Tests Despite Vulnerability Against Spinners, Says Maharoof
Sri Lanka Cricket XI: Former Sri Lanka fast bowler Farveez Maharoof feels that despite India’s batting vulnerabilities in facing spinners, the Shubman Gill-led side enters the upcoming two-game Test series far better prepared than the hosts.
The two-match Test series between India and Sri Lanka kicks off in Galle on Saturday, with 24 crucial World Test Championship (WTC) points on the line for both teams to boost their chances of entering the final in June 2027. India arrive on the back of beating Sri Lanka Cricket XI in a three-day warm-up game at the NCC Ground, where all squad members got decent bowling and batting time.
“The vulnerability of Indian batting order and the negativity going around with it, with losing to South Africa at home especially, this is where Sri Lanka can really bounce on if they bring the A game. My concern is that some of the players have not played after the West Indies series because of LPL straight away and then this Test series.
