25 years ago a team largely consisting of semi professionals completed one of cricket’s greatest heists.
I had the privilege of telling this story - one of sports’ greatest - a few years ago.

This is my favourite cricket article. Have lost count of the number of times I've read it.

TBH, while it may have been called a 'heist' at the start, it slowly became utter domination as the tournament progressed. 🙂

As an Indian, can never forget this SL team. The dominance they had from 1996 onwards was insane. Jayasuriya used to give nightmares on regularly. If he didnt get you, Mahamana did, if he didnt then Aravinda did, if he didnt then Ranatunga did. Then there were Vaas and Murali.

Great leaders lead ordinary comrades to Great Deeds. History is littered with such examples.
Arjuna Was the greatest cricketing leader produced by Lanka.
Ditto for Pakistan in Imran Khan.
