41-Year-Old Record Broken: Sri Lanka Star Milan Rathnayake Makes Test History
Sri Lanka debutant Milan Rathnayake broke a 41-year-old Test record by putting up the highest score by a batter at the number 9 spot in men's red-ball cricket. The 28-year-old surpassed India's Balwinder Sandhu's record of 71, a splendid knock that came against Pakistan in Hyderabad in 1983. On the opening day of the first Test between Sri Lanka and England in Manchester, the visitors put up a valiant fight, and Rathnayake was at the centre stage of all the action.
