Top 5 instances of Indian batsmen failing on Indian pitches

1) 78 vs Sri Lanka in Kanpur

Arjuna Ranatunga had picked up figures of 4/14 in the game

It was Sri Lanka who batted first in the One-Day International at the Green Park in December 1986.Their batting struggled a bit but they got to a challenging total of 195/8. In those days 195 was quite defendable and the visitors had a great bowling line up.

The Indians struggled right from the start with the ‘little master’ Sunil Gavaskar returning back to the pavilion after scoring just two runs. Kris Srikkanth and Dilip Vengsarkar tried to bail their team out of trouble but failed. The middle and lower order too contributed in single digit scores as India were bowled out for just 78.For Sri Lanka surprisingly a young Arjuna Ranatunga had bagged figures of 4/14 from his six overs.
