Under overcast and breezy conditions, Sri Lanka chose to bat after winning the toss, but India’s seamers made full use of the movement on offer. Praveen Kumar struck with the very first ball, and India’s bowlers kept Sri Lanka under constant pressure. Kumar Sangakkara, Mahela Jayawardene and Samaraweera all fell cheaply as swing and seam proved too much. Tillakaratne Dilshan showed brief resistance, while Ravindra Jadeja and Pragyan Ojha tightened the screws in the middle overs. Sri Lanka never fully recovered and posted a modest total. India’s chase, however, began shakily as early wickets fell and the conditions remained difficult for batting. Dinesh Karthik struggled, while Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma departed in quick succession, raising fears of another collapse. Amid the pressure, Virender Sehwag played a mature and controlled innings, relying more on timing than brute force. He punished only loose deliveries and steadily guided the chase. Sehwag found support in Suresh Raina during a crucial partnership that stabilised the innings. Once the pressure eased, Sehwag shifted gears and dismantled the Sri Lankan attack. In a dramatic finish, with Sehwag stranded on 99 and India needing just one run to win, Suraj Randiv bowled a massive no-ball which was smashed for six — denying Sehwag a deserved century but sealing a comfortable Indian victory with a bonus point. 🏏 Match: India vs Sri Lanka 🏆 Tournament: Tri-series / Group Match 📍 Venue: Dambulla ⭐ Key Performers: Virender Sehwag, Praveen Kumar, Ravindra Jadeja 🔥 Iconic Moment: Randiv no-ball denying Sehwag’s century 🇮🇳 Result: India won comfortably with a bonus point A match remembered forever for swing bowling dominance, Sehwag’s composure under pressure, and one of
