All Match News

India v Sri Lanka, 2005-06

India is raising the bar in every game

In my times, Aravinda de Silva was keen to open the innings in one-day cricket. His reasons were plain: open spaces in the field offer maximum returns on a shot. It broadens your appeal which, in turn, tilts the scale of commerce

'Nothing can be more satisfying' - Agarkar

Rahul Dravid and Ajit Agarkar beamed their faces off when they spoke to the press soon after India wrapped up the series against Sri Lanka 4-0

Keeping the faith

Leading 3-0, with several players coming into their own in different matches, Rahul Dravid backed his team to come through and saw both the bowlers and the batsmen respond superbly

India hold nerve and seal series

Ajit Agarkar's five-wicket haul, ending with the best figures in an ODI at Pune, played a vital part in keeping Sri Lanka down to 261, before Rahul Dravid's composed 63 piloted India to their fourth-consecutive win in the series
