Scoring centuries in both matches of a two-match Test series is among the rarest events in the history of Test cricket, and that too as a No.6 batter, against the India National Cricket Team.
A bunch of records for the Sri Lanka batter Sonal Dinusha for scoring back-to-back Test centuries against India
According to the stats, there were only two Sri Lankan batters before Sonal to score centuries against India in both innings of a match. Duleep Mendis and legendary Aravinda de Silva were the only two batters to do so in the past. Sonal Dinusha is the third batter to join the list. Notably, he is the first player to achieve the feat coming to bat as the No.6 batter for the Sri Lanka cricket team.
