5 Reasons why the Sri Lanka series is a make or break for Abhinav Mukund’s career

Abhinav Mukund has to step up to plate against Sri Lanka

#1 Playing a lower-ranked Sri Lankan side

The Sri Lankan squad has of late looked way below par and has struggled against Zimbabwe in their erstwhile one-off Test match. They eventually came out victorious by 3 wickets, but had to struggle to accomplish the victory.

Apart from Rangana Herath, their bowling lacks penetration power and a killer punch, both essential elements for Test cricket. Against a not-so-strong bowling attack, Abhinav Mukund has the golden opportunity to pile on runs and make a case for himself.

Also, the series will be played in sub-continent conditions, which might help Mukund to adapt to the pitch and atmosphere. This is the best chance for Mukund to at least stay in the radar of the Indian selectors.
