Rahul Dravid – classy innings anchoring India’s massive 518/7 declared. Sachin Tendulkar – elegant 19th Test century on the final day. Mahela Jayawardene – sensational career-best 242 (465 balls, 677 minutes, 30 fours, 2 sixes), the 3rd highest Test score for Sri Lanka at the time. Sri Lanka 485 all out – Jayawardene stood tall, with little support except Ranatunga’s fifty. Kumble & Harbhajan Singh – shared 7 wickets, proving spin was key despite Sri Lanka’s gamble of no specialist spinner. India’s dropped catches of Jayawardene (5 times!) proved costly, denying them a win. 🏏 This Test is remembered for Jayawardene’s epic double century, India’s batting dominance, and a contest where missed chances turned victory into a draw. #INDvsSL #MahelaJayawardene #SachinTendulkar #RahulDravid #AsianTestChampionship #CricketMax
