Whenever there is talk of heavy bodied players in the world of cricket, one name definitely pops up in the minds of the fans and that is Sri Lankan legend and former captain Arjuna Ranatunga. This batsman, who won the World Cup for Sri Lanka in 1996, was very strong at that time but was an expert in winning matches by playing brilliant cricket for his country. He was also an expert in making strategies. But fans are surprised to see the latest pictures of Ranatunga with such a heavy body. Because surprisingly he has lost his weight. At present, a photo of former World Cup winning captain Kapil Dev and Arjuna Ranatunga is going viral on social media.
However, it is not yet clear whether Ranatunga lost weight voluntarily or due to some health problem. But Ranatunga's weight loss is surprising people. Seeing his pictures, hardly anyone can recognize him at a glance. Seeing the picture, it is difficult to believe that he must have once been so huge.
Fans on social media might be shocked to see his pictures with Kapil Dev but this shocking picture of him actually came out last year when he was giving his opinion as a cricket expert during the Asia Cup.
When fans saw Ranatunga in the pictures with Kapil Dev, they were surprised. Many of them asked if everything was okay with Ranatunga. Another fan wrote that if this is Ranatunga then what happened to him? Let us tell you here that after playing for Sri Lanka for 18 years, Ranatunga joined the country's politics and was also a cabinet member in the country's government at different times. He also provided administrative services to the Sri Lanka Cricket Board.
