A dream series for Kamindu Mendis

Bangladesh lost to their arch-rivals Sri Lanka by 2-0 in the home Test series. Sri Lanka embarrassed the hosts by giving them a whitewash and added salt to the wound by devising a unique way of receiving the trophy.

Sri Lanka won the series opener by 328 runs and the second Test by 192 runs. The series, which was already trending due to many humorous incidents, even concluded with a viral moment.

A practice series?

The post-match celebration of the Lankan Lions was a sight to behold. The entire Sri Lankan team donned their practice uniforms and marched forward to collect the trophy. In a surprising move, Sri Lanka captain Dhananjay De Silva calmly placed the trophy on the ground and proceeded to pose for a picture. The Lankan players, in stark contrast to the usual jubilation, refrained from celebrating or cheering as if they had just won a practice game instead of a crucial away Test series.

Here’s the viral video of Sri Lankan players receiving the trophies:

A dream series for Kamindu Mendis

The series against Bangladesh showcased the exceptional talent of the 25-year-old Sri Lankan all-rounder Kamindu Mendis. In the first Test, he notched up centuries in both innings (102 and 164) and remained unbeaten on 92 in the first innings of the second game. In the final Test, Mendis’s mystery bowling proved to be a game-changer, as he claimed the crucial wickets of Shakib Al Hasan, Shahadat Hossain, and Taijul Islam.
