India’s 500-Run Curse Returns After Colombo Test Draw

India scored more than 500 runs in the first innings of the Test match.

Usually, a team feels confident after making such a large score.

India’s bowlers then tried to dismiss Sri Lanka and win the match.

However, Sri Lanka’s batters defended well on the final two days.

Sonal Dinusha scored 133 runs and played a major role.

Pasindu Sooriyabandara, Kamindu Mendis, and Keshara Nuwantha also helped Sri Lanka stay in the match.

Because Sri Lanka resisted until the end, the game finished as a draw.

This meant India could not turn its big first-innings score into a victory.
