IND vs SL: Jasprit Bumrah’s gesture Suranga Lakmal, who is retiring Sri Lankan player, has taken the Internet by storm. See

The Indian bowlers were at their best as the team led by Rohit Sharma won the Sri Lanka 238 race on Monday in the second round of the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru (D / N). With this victory, India took a clean turn in the two-match series. India’s 14th consecutive victory in all formats since Rohit was named captain of the team. Jasprit Bumrah of India had a special test in which he recorded his first handshake on the home floor at the first entrance before adding three more scalps to his name at the second entrance. However, it was a wonderful gesture by Bumrah to Sri Lankan pacer Suranga Lakmal under the guidance of the internet.

On the 3rd day, Bumrah dismissed Lakmal, but quickly congratulated the fast Sri Lankan pelota player who was playing the last game of his international career.

Both players exchanged a handshake and Rohit and Virat Kohli also congratulated the player.

Lakmal was also seen receiving a special honor guard from the players in both locker rooms as he returned to the pavilion.

BCCI has shared the current video on its official Twitter handle.

So Bumrah did not celebrate his wicket but went straight to Lakmal to wish him retirement.

It shows you why he is not a great ball, but a great man.

After the match, Sri Lankan skipper Dimuth Karunaratne also congratulated Lakmal, describing the latter as “one of the best”.

“One of the best I’ve seen in my career. I’m very happy that the county cricket will go with him and I know he will do very well there,” Karunaratne said at the presentation ceremony.

Lakmal, who chose only one wicket in the match, made his debut in an ODI against India in 2009 in Nagpur.

He then made his debut in the test almost a year later, against the Antilles in Colombo.
