If I am not mistaken, Aravinda de Silva hit 1st delivery of the innings for a six some where in late eighties. But I am not sure whether it was the 1st delivery of the match. Edit: It was second innings and was off Kapil Dev.

Sri Lanka changed their batting order in an attempt to meet their target, and Aravinda de Silva sounded the challenge by hooking Kapil Dev for 6 the moment the second innings began.

^ Yes I knew. And it was done for a great cause, to get our 1st test win. More from that article;

Sri Lanka came within an ace of scoring their maiden win in Test cricket, only resolute batting by Vengsarkar and interference from typically tropical weather denying them their opportunity. :hysterical: In a match of fluctuating fortunes, the home team took all the honours and at one point, as 17 were taken off Kapil Dev's first over, threatened to meet the target of 123 runs in eleven overs.

Aravinda :hatsoff:
