Battling Against All Odds: The Unlikely Hero of Sri Lankan Cricket The Sinhalese Sports Club Ground in Colombo has witnessed many nail biting finishes, but none as remarkable as the rearguard action engineered by Sonal Dinusha in the second Test against India.
This incredible fightback drew cricket enthusiasts into its drama and excitement. Sri Lanka faced an almost insurmountable task on day four, resuming with only 16 runs ahead and just four wickets in hand.
The pressure was palpable, but Dinusha, a 25 year old middle order batter, refused to buckle under the weight of expectation.
