Farveez Maharoof became the 3rd Sri lankan to pickup a hattrick in Asia Cup game against India in 2010 at Dambulla
Jadeja ,Praveen Kumar and Zaheer Khan are the 3 batters who got dismissed and the best thing is all 3 batters got first ball ducks
Manjot Kalra. His family business is either wholesale of fruits or veggies at Azadpur Mandi in Delhi. From where did he get so much investment to own a franchise in country's league?
Did @OfficialSLC do due diligence or just commitment of money was enough?
This guy's credentials has always been shady. He was 22 minimum during that U19 WC. Was panned for skipping training during a year he was with DC.
Never made the grade for being insincere. Was caught for age fudging.
List is long. So not surprised actually.

Tuchel either looks a genius at the end of this World Cup or the most criticized.
The reason England will probably win this World Cup is because Tuchel has prioritized physicality above almost everything else. This team is powerful, athletic, aggressive out of possession, and capable of overwhelming opponents through sheer intensity. In tournament football, that profile can take you very far because physical dominance can make the difference in tight knockout games.
The reason England will probably not win the World Cup is the exact opposite. Tuchel has left behind some of the most unique creative profiles available to him (Palmer, Trent, and Wharton). Players who see passes others don’t, players who can slow the game down, manipulate space, and unlock stubborn defensive blocks.
That may not matter against teams that want to play football. But when England eventually face a side sitting in a compact low block in a quarter-final or semi-final, they may run into a problem. Not every game can be won with intensity, running power, and athleticism. Today showed that.
Sometimes you need a pause.
Sometimes you need a player who can see the pass before everyone else sees it.
Sometimes you need someone who can break a game open with one touch, one switch, one through ball, or one moment of imagination.
The worrying part is not just that those profiles were left out. It’s that England don’t even have them on the bench. If Plan A isn’t working, there’s no Plan B with this kind of profile.
Tournament football is often decided by fine margins. Physicality gets you into the fight. Creativity wins the fight when the opponent refuses to engage on your terms.
That’s the gamble Tuchel has made. It could make him look like a genius, or it could be the reason England fall one step short again.
⚡️ It is understood that some senior Sri Lankan cricketers who know Vaibhav Sooryavanshi through their IPL interactions reached out to him to express their regret over the on-field tensions after Monday's Super Over game in Dambulla

In the first decade of the IPL, the joke was that "IPL is an eight-team tournment to decide who will play CSK in the final."
It can now change to, "IPL is a ten-team tournament to decide who will play the final in Ahmedabad."
