5 bowlers at the receiving end of epic batting milestones

#3 Shaminda Eranga

Eranga has a history of bad outings against India

Rohit Sharma did something unbelievable in 2014 against Sri Lanka in an ODI match at Bengaluru. He scored a mammoth 264 and broke several world records. Eranga was the man bowling to Rohit at the time he surpassed Sehwag’s record of 219 runs. He hit a 6 off Eranga when he was on 216 and moved to 222 setting a new record on his name.

He later scored 250, once again off Eranga and finally ended at 264 after being caught by Jayawardena off Kulasekara.

This was a phenomenal achievement and I don’t think it’s easy to surpass this record anytime soon. Let us also recollect something here. This was not the first time Eranga had a bad memory playing India. During a tri-series final in West Indies, Eranga bowled the final over and gave away 15 runs to Dhoni, eventually leading to Sri Lanka’s defeat in the match.
