The year was 1997 and the first Test match was being played between India and Sri Lanka on the ground of Colombo. Batting first, the Indian team declared its first innings after scoring 537 runs and losing 8 wickets. The Indian camp and fans were overjoyed. However, it was calm before the storm, as the Sri Lankan bowlers wreaked havoc on the Indian bowling attack after this, which is still recorded in the pages of history.
Sri Lanka had hanged so many runs on the scoreboard, which Team India had not even imagined. Sachin Tendulkar, who was captaining the Indian team in this match, had to be embarrassed. It was a Test match that neither Sachin nor Team India would ever like to remember.
In response to India's 537 runs, Sri Lanka's start to bat was not good. Marvan Atapattu used to walk by scoring just 26 runs. After this, Roshan Mahanama came down with the bat at the crease and from here started the process of playing with the Indian bowling attack. Jayasuriya and Roshan added 576 runs for the second wicket in no time.
