5 memorable moments from India vs Sri Lanka that don’t fade away

Sri Lanka created a record by completing the highest ever successful chase in Champions Trophy history

#4 Twin run-outs

It seemed like India were back in the game, but there was one final twist left in the match

When Gunathilaka and Mendis were batting, it looked like the match would get over in less than 45 overs. India huffed and puffed, but couldn’t break the partnership. ViratKohli, KedarJadhav, RavindraJadeja, HardikPandya all tried their hand with the ball, but it looked like only a freak moment would break the stand.

This is what arrived for India as first UmeshYadav and MS Dhoni combined for a run out to send Gunathalika to the stands. Less than 5 overs later, Sri Lanka suffered yet another jolt as Bhuvneshwar Kumar ran Mendis out off his own bowling. It seemed like India were back in the game, but there was one final twist left in the match.
