Big feat done against India

By scoring a century against India, 25 year old left handed batsman Sonal Dinusha also made a record in her name. Dinusha has now become the fourth Sri Lankan batsman to score a century while batting at number 6 against India in Test cricket. Before him, this feat against India was done by former Sri Lankan captain Arjun Ranatunga, veteran batsman Tillakaratne Dilshan and Dinesh Chandimal.

Dinesh Chandimal had played an unbeaten inning of 162 runs while batting at number-6 against India in the year 2015. Earlier, Tillakaratne Dilshan had scored unbeaten 125 runs in the year 2008, while in the year 1985, former Sri Lankan captain Arjun Ranatunga had played an inning of 111 runs. Now Dinusha has made her place in the club of these greats with her innings of 100 runs.

Century saved Sri Lanka from follow on

Sonal Dinusha batted in the lower order in the first innings and took charge of the team's innings. He increased the tension of Team India by making a partnership of 146 runs for the sixth wicket with Niroshan Dickwella. However, then Prasidh Krishna gave great success to Team India by dismissing Niroshan Dickwella. However, by then the Sri Lankan team was out of the position of playing follow-on. The play of the third day of the Galle Test has ended. In the last session of the third day, Sri Lanka's first innings was reduced to 294 runs and Team India has got a lead of 178 runs. However, due to rain, the third day's play had to be ended early, hence Team India did not come out to bat. Now on the fourth day, the Indian team would like to set a big target for Sri Lanka by scoring runs quickly.
