Rohit Sharma waves Sri Lanka flag after India vs bangaladesh Nidahas Trophy final

The Nidahas Trophy for the T20 triangular series featuring Sri Lanka, India, and Bangladesh was organized to celebrate Sri Lanka, the hosts, 70th independence anniversary. The tournament was a witness to some sparkling encounters and eventually, it was India who emerged victorious by defeating Bangladesh in a cliffhanger in the Final at the R.Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.

Nevertheless, the series ended on an impressive note with a jaw-dropping final. The game wasn’t only filled with sterling performances, but also some heartfelt gestures by the Indian cricketers. After the game, Rohit Sharma, the Indian skipper, took the Sri Lankan national flag and took a lap of honour in order to acknowledge the support of the local supporters.

The post-match celebration also saw a couple of Indian and Sri Lankan fans hugging each other, which is heartwarming, to say the least. Sudhir Gautam, the ardent fan of Sachin Tendulkar and the Indian team, was lifted by a Sri Lankan fan, which highlighted the healthy relationship between the people from both the nations.

We as Sri Lankans, and a sinhalese, we never hate tamil people. We are so friendly and being happy with each other in here. Those are who jealous about that are the ones who trying to seperate sinhala and tamil people.

I miss the old Sri Lankan team as an Indian fan..Ranatunga, Jayasuriya, Aravinda, Murli, Vaas, Dilshan, Sanga, Jayawardene, Mendis all gave us wonderful memories. Also I wish both Sri Lanka and Pakistan cricket get back strong as they were used to in 90s which would be great for Asian subcontinent cricket..

They way Bangladesh reacted against srilankan are patthetic. Win and loose a part of the game they have to learn cricket is gentlemen game

[madhurgoel]

He did it because it was revenge by India for SL. Bangladeshis really showed their true colors a day before
