IPL teams for crying out loud; Shanaka achieved an unprecedented record in the history of cricket
In the second match of Sri Lanka’s tour of India, India could only lose when captain Dasun Shanaka led Lanka from the front. India lost in front of their own crowd when Sri Lanka’s fighting spirit and India’s mistakes backfired.
With this, the Lankan Lions managed to draw 1-1 after two matches in the three-match series.
Captain Dasun Shanaka’s unbeaten innings was crucial in Lanka’s victory. Shanaka scored the fastest half-century by a Sri Lankan player in the T20 format the other day. Shanaka scored an unbeaten 56 off 22 balls.
After the star’s performance in the last match, there were discussions on social media. In the mini auction held in Kochi in December, it was discussed that no IPL team tried to bring Shanaka to the team.
No team came forward for Shanaka whose base price was only 50 lakhs. With this, the actor became unsold.
Not only in the second match, but also in the first match, Shanaka was crushed. Shanaka was the main reason why the first match went to the last ball.
After the last match, the actor had a smashing record. Shanaka has achieved an achievement that no one has ever achieved in international cricket.
This record underscores that he is a reliable finisher. Shanaka has become the only player with multiple fifty in death over in T20 format.
Shanaka’s second fifty against India came in the death over. Earlier last year too, Shanaka had hit a fifty in the death over against Australia.
There is no doubt that Shanaka will be the star of the series if he can put up the same performance in the third match and lead Lanka to victory.
The series decider will be played on January 7. The venue is the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium.
