1985 Win over India Gave Sri Lanka Foundation, Hope to Build New Legacy: Roy Dias

COLOMBO: As Sri Lanka faced a Test and series defeat against India at the SSC ground, former cricketer Roy Dias recalled the team’s historic maiden Test win over India in 1985. Sri Lanka had defeated India by 149 runs at the P Saravanamuttu Oval, with Dias playing a key role by scoring 95 and an unbeaten 60. The memorable victory, he said, still brings a smile to his face.
