Sonal Dinusha becomes third Sri Lankan to achieve this feat against India
Dinusha was unbeaten on 98 at tea and did not have to wait long to complete his century. On the first ball of the third and final session, he flicked Mohammed Siraj towards mid-wicket for a couple of runs to reach the landmark. It was another brilliant innings from the Sri Lankan batter, who continued his sublime run in the two-match Test series against India.
Sonal Dinusha demonstrated his batting prowess as he became the third Sri Lankan to achieve the remarkable feat of scoring centuries in both innings during a Test match against India. On the final day of the second Test in Colombo, Dinusha, who was unbeaten on 98 at tea, powered Mohammed Siraj over mid-wicket for two runs to reach the century milestone.
This exceptional performance marked him as only the 12th batter to score centuries in both innings of a Test against India and the second to accomplish this feat since January 2015. Prior to Dinusha, only Jonny Bairstow had managed the feat against India, doing so in 2022. Dinusha's 103 and 100 not out innings stand as a testament to his skill, joining an elite group of batters who have accomplished this remarkable feat.
