Upul Tharanga, who has been selected as
the Sri Lankan captain recently, has warned the Indian skipper Virat
Kohli for the upcoming 5-match ODI series. The series is all set to
kick off on 20th
August.
India, so far, had a dream run in Sri
Lanka as the hosts were white washed 3-0 in the Test series.
Referring to dismal show put up by the
Lankan tigers, the captain said every team once in a while goes
through a rough patch.
“Every team goes through a rough
patch. This is something that happens in cycles to every team and
every nation no matter how great a cricketing nation they are. Sri
Lanka dominated in all three formats for a good 18 years – don’t
forget this now when we are going through a rough patch,” said
Tharanga in a statement to the press.
He further warned India saying that Sri
Lanka will win the ODI series.
“Sri Lanka has always been stronger
in our white-ball format, and I am confident that we will come out
strong and beat India. We have the talent, we have the skill. We have
been putting in the hard work, we just need the spirit, and for that,
we need your support too,” Tharanga added.
