Sri Lanka Will Definitely Challenge India Quite A Bit, Turning Tracks Offer Scoring Chances: WV Raman
World Test Championship: India are coming off a period of vulnerability against quality spin in series defeats to New Zealand and South Africa at home, and their upcoming two-match challenge in Sri Lanka looms as a genuine litmus test.

In an exclusive chat with IANS, facilitated by Sony Sports Network ahead of the series starting in Galle on Saturday, former India batter WV Raman spoke on why Indian batters must be proactive in making runs on turning tracks, why Rishabh Pant must be granted ‘free license’ to disrupt the Sri Lankan spinners, how the opening pairing of Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul balances youthful aggression with seasoned wisdom, and more.
