Beat us by 245 runs in 2000  in Sharjah, 54 all out ! We had 5 left handers in our top 6 vs Murali. Dada, Yuvraj, Kambli, Badani, Robin Singh with Sunil Joshi at 8.

 

The strange thing about that rivalry was one team would win 5-6 matches consecutively, then the other team would dominate. SL had the upper hand though.

Yes. 96-2001 Srilanka had a very impressive team. Jayasuriya seemed to save his best against us always. The team that lost in Sharjah was very young and had not faced anyone like Murali before.  India after that caught up with players like Sehwag , Yuvraj, Zaheer, Harbhajan settling in alongside Tendulkar , Ganguly ,Dravid etc .

The 2000s were keenly contested between the two sides with India edging it slightly. 2010s have been very one sided. What Jayasuriya did against us, Kohli and Rohit have returned the favour with interest.

Hope we see another 200 from him soon. Slog overs Hitman is a beast! 

Fugging Manjrekar starts to hype him the moment he crosses 120s and he gets out. He was good for at least couple more 200s in my book.

in fact WC match vs Pak the 200 was there for the taking. He played a Misbah type scoop against Hassan Ali who was ripe for the taking

While I concede that every 90s cricket flashback prominently features Jayasuriya mauling our bowlers,

unfortunate even if India did do well against sl the nature of Jayasuriyas assault always remains in people minds. That is that. But yeah

Kohli Rohit Sehwag Pathan bros Dhoni Ishant Yadav.. After a point even with their great players SL were absolutely owned and taken apart.

Rematch those games again. Jayasuriya always was poor vs srinath who was our best bowler. Underrated. 

 

Whenever srinarh played, Jayasuriya never excelled.

The way hitman torched starc and Cummins in india and in Australia was breathtaking.

200 looked like a sure thing that day. It was so disappointing to see him get out.
