Sonal Dinusha Joins Vijay Hazare, Andy Flower in Rare Test Record After Century vs India
Dinusha’s 100, 84 and 103 have put him in rare company and kept Sri Lanka’s draw hopes alive, officials said.
- On Thursday, Sri Lankan batter Sonal Dinusha smashed his fourth successive fifty-plus score, hitting an unbeaten 133 to help Sri Lanka secure a draw against India in Colombo.
- Dinusha's remarkable consistency—scores of 100, 84, 103, and 133—places him among legends Kumar Sangakkara and Andy Flower, marking one of cricket's most prolific Test debuts.
- A resilient century partnership between Dinusha and Keshara Nuwantha frustrated Indian bowlers on an unresponsive pitch, with Sri Lanka leading by 116 runs at the first session's end.
- India left Colombo having won the series 1-0, failing to achieve the 2-0 sweep that would have bolstered their World Test Championship final qualification chances.
- Born in 2000, the bowling all-rounder introduced himself to a global audience with recent performances matching a consistency feat unseen since Zaheer Abbas achieved it 48 years ago.
