August 19 (CRICKETNMORE) - Indian batting legend Sunil Gavaskar has predicted a 4-1 for India in the upcoming five match ODI series against Sri Lanka, starting Sunday in Dambulla.
In an interview given to NDTV, Gavaskar said, "My prediction is it will be 4-1 in favour of India." The red ball tends to swing more than the white ball and Gavaskar reckoned it will be easier for the home side to play with the white ball than with the red ball. "White ball will be easier for the Sri Lankan batsmen."
The former Indian captain backed the under fire Sri Lankan ODI skipper Upul Tharanga to come goods in the shorter format of the game, "Upul Tharanga is a very good one-day player. Sri Lanka can re-invent themselves in the one-dayers," said Gavaskar.
