Sonal set a world record by scoring half-centuries or more in each of his first three innings against India. He showed a very high level of development in these three innings, which were built up as 100, 84 and 103 runs.

In 1948, Everton Weekes of the West Indies scored 4 centuries in his first 4 innings against India.
In 1978, Zaheer Abbas of Pakistan scored a half-century, a century and a double century in his first 3 innings.
After that, for 48 years, no batsman in international cricket was able to show such consistent performance in his first 3 innings against India. Sonal managed to change that long history and make this rare world record a reality for Sri Lanka.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
