Who would've imagined that the five time champions Sri Lanka would be eliminated this early from the Asia Cup 2018.

It's hard to believe this is the same Sri Lankan team who were once one of the best cricketing teams in Asia.

With World Cup 2019 also only months away Sri Lankan team needs to regroup and find the winning momentum otherwise expect a performance like this from them in the World Cup too.


#5 Sudden change of form

The 34 year old Murali Vijay hit 3 consecutive 50+ scores for his County side Essex after he failed to score a total of 50 runs in the 4 innings he played against England in August.

Murali Vijay was dropped after a dismal performance in the first two test matches against England. He joined Essex after the series was over and has been in tremendous form for them in the three innings he has played.


#6 Celebration gone wrong

Pakistan pacer Hasan Ali is quite famous for his trademark wicket celebration. The 24-year-old is known for his exuberant ‘Bomb Explosion’ celebration after capturing a wicket.

However earlier this year in July he injured himself while doing the same celebration after taking a wicket and was trolled heavily on social media.

There were reports coming out before the start of the Asia Cup 2018 that he is not allowed to celebrate with his trademark celebration in this tournament.
