Dasun Shanaka Sets Sixes Record as Sri Lanka Exits 2026 T20 World Cup Winless

Sri Lankan captain Dasun Shanaka set multiple records during the 2026 ICC Men's T20 World Cup, including hitting 21 sixes—the most by any captain in the tournament's history. Despite his unbeaten 76-run effort off 31 balls in their final Super Eight match, Sri Lanka lost to Pakistan by five runs and exited the tournament without a win. Shanaka's power-hitting and leadership were notable highlights amid the team's overall performance.
