Sonal Dinusha Achieves Rare Batting Feat in Sri Lanka-India Test Series
Sonal Dinusha, a Sri Lankan left-handed all-rounder, has emerged as a key player in the ongoing Test series against India. He scored his maiden Test century in Galle and followed it with scores of 84 and an unbeaten 85 in Colombo, becoming only the third batter in Test history to score 80 or more in each of his first three innings against India. Dinusha's patient and aggressive batting has helped Sri Lanka resist strong Indian bowling, especially in challenging situations lower down the order.
