Indian cricket comes in the headline

The shameful incident in cricket history

PIC:- Arjuna Ranatunga, captained and lead Sri Lanka cricket team, also won 1996 ICC Cricket World Cup

'I had a doubt and We must investigate what happened to Sri Lanka at the 2011 World Cup final'

SPORTS WORLD : The first question is that what will difference between IPL and ICC official tournament after this incident. Arjuna Ranatunga, in a video posted on his Facebook page, said: “I was also in India giving commentaries at the time. When we lost, I was distressed and I had a doubt.”

Let's know who is Arjun Ranatunga. He Captained of Sri Lanka since 1990 and lead the team, also won ICC World Cup

in 1996. Cricket world have

exclaimed on his comment.

They said, 53 years old

experienced cricket how did

say this type of comments.

And many people troll on Ranatunga that everyone feels bad when seeing their country will be lost. Then they are getting doubt and mysterious cause of loss.

Many cricketers are saying, what does he want to say? Did all of the Indian cricketers play on that day only for time wasting? If Arjun Ranatunga is true. Then need a neat & clean investigation. If this will prove true, then ICC will face many problems.

“When we lost, I was distressed and I had a doubt.”

“I am surprised by Arjuna Ranatunga’s allegations. These are serious comments by a very respectable voice in international cricket. I think to clear the air, he should back his claims with proofs”.

Was ICC official tournament fixed in 2011?
