NEW DELHI: A buoyant Team India, coming off from a record victory against arch-rivals Pakistan a day before, was on Tuesday brought down to their knees by a young Sri Lanka spinner at the same ground in Colombo. Left-arm orthodox spinner Dunith Nethmika Wellalage bamboozled the Indian top-order, taking a five-wicket haul at R Premadasa Stadium.
In the process, Wellalage became the youngest Sri Lankan bowler to grab a five-for in the ODIs at 20 years and 246 days, eclipsing the previous record held by pacer Charitha Buddhika. Former Lankan pacer set the record in 2001 when he grabbed a five-for against Zimbabwe in Sharjah at the age of 21 years and 65 days.
