Sonal Dinusha's Century Helps Sri Lanka Draw Second Test; India Wins Series 1-0
In the second Test at Colombo, Sonal Dinusha scored an unbeaten 133 to lead Sri Lanka's resilient fightback, helping the hosts draw against India after being forced to follow on. Despite India’s strong first innings total of 503, Sri Lanka’s lower order partnerships, especially with Keshara Nuwantha, frustrated India’s bowlers. India won the two-match series 1-0, but Dinusha’s rare achievement of three centuries in the series and twin hundreds in a follow-on Test highlighted his key role in salvaging the draw.
