Sri Lanka achieved a historic ODI series victory over India for the first time in 27 years, marking a significant milestone since their last series win in 1997 under Arjuna Ranatunga. The International Cricket Council (ICC) celebrated this achievement by sharing a nostalgic post on Instagram, featuring images of Ranatunga and current captain Charith Asalanka with their respective trophies.
Sri Lanka’s triumph came after a dominant display of spin bowling, culminating in a 3-0 series win, giving the team a much-needed confidence boost after a disappointing 2024 T20 World Cup campaign.
India, under new head coach Gautam Gambhir, struggled on the challenging Colombo pitch, failing to chase down targets effectively in all three ODIs. Sri Lanka’s impressive performance, particularly by Dunith Wellalage and Jeffrey Vandersay, was pivotal in their success.
This victory marks a significant resurgence for Sri Lanka in international cricket, potentially setting the stage for future successes
