There was a time when Sri Lankan cricket felt like watching the same tragedy on repeat. Different stages, different villains, same ending. Sangakkara & Jayawardene had seen Gilchrist demolish them in Bridgetown, 2007. Had seen Afridi pull miracles in London, 2009. Had seen Gambhir & Dhoni chip away in Mumbai, 2011 until nothing remained. Had seen Samuels stand & destroy in their own backyard in 2012. Each time they shook hands & smiled for cameras. Each time they returned to hotel rooms & stared at ceilings until morning came. Then came the ultimatum from the board, right before 2014 T20 World Cup. Sign away your rights or stay home. Let someone else wear your colours in Bangladesh. They packed their bags without guarantees. Played for a country that could not promise to pay them. In Dhaka, they dropped Kohli when he was on 11 in 16 balls. They missed a run-out chance of Rohit Sharma too. On any other night, this would be the story of failure. But they had learned something bitter & true. Wickets make pretty pictures. Dot balls buy you time. So they kept the field in. Kept the pressure breathing down Indian necks. Wide yorker after wide yorker. 19 runs in the last 4 overs. Kohli ran himself out off the final ball, desperate for a second that existed only in his head. India ended on 130 which should have been 160. The crowd in Dhaka knew what this was. 20 million watching across the island knew. Last dance for the two who had given their adult lives to this game. No going back. No second thoughts. When Perera hit the winning six, Jayawardene was not at the wicket. Raina had taken him, Ashwin had held the catch at mid-wicket. But he was there in the dugout. Waiting. Sangakkara was there at the non-strike end. Then the stumps were not the only things uprooted. They lifted Sangakkara first. Then Jayawardene. Two men who had lost so often that losing had become part of their skin, finally holding something that cannot be bought, cannot be signed away on board papers, cannot be counted in rupees or dollars or anything except the weight of finally, finally, finally.

There is a lot of hurt all round. The fans devastated , disappointed , angry. The players are hurting badly too. I have been in similar dressing rooms. It’s not easy. But this responsibility comes with the turf. It’s a burden and a great privilege to represent your country and
