This player made Sri Lanka win the first World Cup
Arjuna Ranatunga Latest Photos on Social Media: A recent photo of Sri Lanka cricket team’s former World Cup winning captain Arjuna Ranatunga is going viral on social media. Arjun looks completely unrecognizable in this viral photo.
It is worth mentioning that Sri Lanka cricket team won the 1996 World Cup under the captaincy of Arjun, and this former great player had performed brilliantly in that tournament. This was the first time when Sri Lanka became champion in any kind of World Cup.
On the other hand, after retiring from the game, Arjun entered politics and was also a Member of Parliament in Sri Lanka. So now the photo of Arjun and former Indian captain and legendary all-rounder Kapil Dev is becoming increasingly viral on social media. In this photo, Kapil Dev is recognizable, but cricket fans are unable to recognize Arjun. Because in this photo, Arjun’s face looks old and his weight is decreasing.
