For First Time Against India, Sri Lanka Do the Unthinkable in Colombo Sri Lanka's stunning draw against India in Colombo has left fans and analysts wondering how a team that had lost 24 out of 27 Tests after being forced to follow on managed to defy the odds.
This was only the fourth time Sri Lanka saved a Test under such circumstances, making it nothing short of remarkable. Since 1994, Sri Lanka had lost all eight Tests against India when asked to follow on.
The weight of history seemed crushing their spirits, but Sonal Dinusha and his team refused to be cowed by past failures.
