Sonal Dinusha scores 420 runs as Sri Lanka force draw in Colombo Test

Sonal Dinusha scored 420 runs across the two-Test series against India, including an unbeaten 133 in the second Test at Colombo that secured a draw. The left-hander hit 173 runs from sweep shots alone as Sri Lanka's middle order frustrated India's spinners.

Dinusha scored three centuries in the series, with his final unbeaten innings coming after India enforced the follow-on. Sri Lanka reached 429 for nine in their second innings to deny India a 2-0 series sweep.

The 23-year-old's performances came after he once struggled to afford basic cricket equipment. His rise from modest beginnings to series-defining contributions marked a significant achievement in Sri Lankan cricket.
