#3 Javagal Srinath humbles Sri Lanka in 1993
In 1993, the Cricket Association of Bengal hosted a multi-nation cricket tournament known as the 'Hero Cup' to commemorate the diamond jubilee. And the tournament was made memorable by India's ace pacer Javagal Srinath.
Srinath, one of the fastest bowlers ever produced by India, was known for his probing lines and immaculate consistency. He brought the best of his skills to the table to trouble Sri Lanka in the first ODI of the Hero Cup at Kanpur.
In his opening spell, he got the better of Asanka Gurusinha and Jayasuriya and left Sri Lanka two down at the score of 53. However, Sri Lanka's middle order rejuvenated the innings and set the foundation for a strong finish.
And then Srinath came back to spoil Sri Lanka's party. The seamer used the old ball efficiently and wrecked the lower order to limit Sri Lanka's score to 203. He dismissed three of the last four Sri Lankan batsmen and picked up a well-deserved five-wicket haul.
India's batsmen found no difficulties in chasing the paltry target and India won the game by seven wickets.
