Dinusha has certainly given Rajeev Shukla plenty of reason to be impressed. After scoring 100 and 84 in the first Test at Galle, the Sri Lankan all-rounder followed it up with another century in Colombo, scoring 103 in the second Test. His consistency against India has made him one of the standout performers of the series.
Dinusha's century helped Sri Lanka fight back after India declared on 503/9. He reached the three-figure mark with a boundary against Prasidh Krishna before eventually being dismissed by debutant Saransh Jain. His innings contained eight fours and three sixes.
His back-to-back hundreds have also put him alongside some of Sri Lanka's most celebrated batters. Aravinda de Silva, Kumar Sangakkara, Sanath Jayasuriya, Mahela Jayawardene, Tharanga Paranavitana and Angelo Mathews have previously produced consecutive Test centuries against India. Dinusha's performances are particularly notable because he is still at the beginning of his international career.
