Sri Lanka sports minister Dayasiri Jayasekera has stated that he is open to ordering an investigation into the 2011 World Cup final played between India and Sri Lanka. Earlier, Arjuna Ranatunga had accused the country’s players of performing below par and demanded an investigation into the same.

An error from an umpire is not a new thing in cricket, but even by such standards, Sri Lanka were handed a huge reprieve in their only Test against Zimbabwe when Chettithody Shamshuddin overlooked a blatant stumping. The decision cost Zimbabwe the match as Lanka went on to win by 4 wickets.

A hat-trick has always been considered as the crowning jewel in a bowler’s individual career and is an event that is always associated with a cricketer throughout his career. Sri Lanka’s Wanidu Hasaranga de Silva became only the third bowler in the ODI history to pick up the coveted treble on debut.
