SL went from still having the World Record for the highest no of days(1000+days ~ 3+ years) as the no 1 T20i side in the world to playing the qualifiers for the T20i WC
When I was a kid I used to hate these guys Dilshan, Sangakkara and Jayawardene because they always did well against India and at that time, around 2010, India Sri Lanka series took place every second month. But now I realise that watching your team win does make you happy, watching competitive games makes you happier and I seriously wish Sri Lanka regain their past strength.
Dilshan has shown that you need to have a mindset to score runs not only spending time on crease and consuming deliveries in England, you will not be given bad balls in every now and then
@@rajatacharjee4569dilshan was better than sehwag. Dude was literally the player of the tournament in 2009 t20 wc and highest run scorer in 2011 wc never seen sehwag with such records
They still have talent. It's mismanagement and corruption Their board is managed by bunch of corrupt people who exploit everything for monetary gains Hope someone selfless takes control of their operations soon
Especially in the current England series the way their batsman have played very sad to see that even B division association team would have played better than this unit :)
He was the highest run scorer in 2011 world cup and second was Sachin Tendulkar . He scalped wickets as well he would have been the Player Of The Tournament in 2011 world cup instead of Yuvraj Singh
@@shirshodas7857 Rungetter is a common term used by commentators (or on websites)for batsmen who scores runs, and this is not a vocabulary class, speak on the topic,did I say wrong about the issue?
Those were the days in Lankans cricket Jayasuriya,Dilshan,jaywardhane,sanga ❤️ n now in current days,it's really heartbreaking to see fall of Lankans cricket 😔
I remember watching this match back in 2011. SL was completely outplayed in the first test and they mounted a powerful counter attack here in Lord's. Unfortunately, Dilshan's wicket (SL 370-3) triggered a collapse causing SL to fall behind England's first innings score and the match to end in a draw. Excellent innings from Dilshan btw, pure class.
SL Legends left abruptly. They didn't find their alternatives, even if found, they didn't groom the youngsters. What do you expect, it's all on SL management
@@frasergibson5763.Pak looks much better than SA and SL, infact Pak has match winners in the form of B.Azam,F.Zaman,Imamul haq, their bowling also looks very strong
@@oops9437 Yeah..we can say the same for SA too...but the greatest threat to SA Cricket is the Racism they had to face which eventually leds to drop some great talent. SA Cricket is hanging on thin hair too.
More like they didnt utilise him properly for his first 8 years he was given the middle order but once they tried him out as an Opener man was just 🔥 if they made him an opener much early SL couldve gotten a deadly combinations of Dilshan and Sanath at his prime opening for the team
@@user-jn9rj7km9o no man. Initially he didnt have a great technique. He was a great hitter but could not play pace well at all. It took him time to grow into it and then arguably became a better player of pace than spin later on. Huge improvement
When I was younger I used to feel jealous and irritated that someone else is also successful without foot movement in foreign conditions like Viru. They both had similar approaches to batting as well. Dilshan was a late bloomer in cricket but he got better and better. Now I wish this srilankan team played again
He had played some really good shots before on the same kind of ball that he got out on. He was just tentative when he was in the 190s that's why his hands weren't as active and his bat couldn't come in front of the ball in time.
5:24 *_i watched this match live as a kid & remembered exactly before this moment Steven Finn balled a nusty ball that hitted TM Dilshan's thumb finger & after he didn't play well & got out Finn's peach bowled._*

193 of 253 balls in swinging conditions what an inning TM dilshan🔥
Dilshan was always a class act He can play 360° cricket !
how fearlessly he has played.. brilliance of Dilshan

Dilshan has shown that you need to have a mindset to score runs not only spending time on crease and consuming deliveries in England, you will not be given bad balls in every now and then
The conditions were also good for batting though not a flat deck
Still something was there which was enough for bowlers to get out of it
Choothiyehh I know u r referring to pujara... U r nothing in front of him
This new generation cricketers are not able hold their legacy...
What a sheer class this guy was...Devastating and cool and calm at the same time.
This guy hit Johnson for. 6 4s in one over in WC15.
His hard work to became an opener is unbelievable. From middle order batsman and off spin bowler to top order batsman.Amazing
Same Rohit Sharma
What a player this guy. Always played attacking cricket. Glad he got the chance to open and never looked back 👍🏽
Sehwag of Sri Lanka
@@rajatacharjee4569Dilshan is Dilshan,

One of the most underrated batsmen of all time. Specially in ODI
Miss the old days when Sri Lanka was a real force. Really sad to see them go down like this.
They still have talent. It's mismanagement and corruption
Their board is managed by bunch of corrupt people who exploit everything for monetary gains
Hope someone selfless takes control of their operations soon
South Africa's downfall is even more saddening.

@@hrwedsash South Africa are still a very strong team
They need a good leader. And Elgar looks like one. They'll be back
One of the greatest inning by Dili. With a pain 💙
Fearless batting by Dilshan at home of cricket 😉
He was the highest run scorer in 2011 world cup and second was Sachin Tendulkar . He scalped wickets as well he would have been the Player Of The Tournament in 2011 world cup instead of Yuvraj Singh
But he failed to win the world cup for sri Lanka...that what matters
@@ArvindYadav-dv4wi So was Tendulkar in the 2011 and 2003 finals but still a highest rungetter,same goes for Dilshan
@@oops9437 not getter its scorer the runs are not given to batsman just the way captaincy is given to Virat Kohli , its scored

For the great inning
The british people's standing applauses are the best 👌
SL Legends left abruptly.

What do you expect, it's all on SL management
Same happening for SA,but they look slightly better than SL with two good batsmen and better bowling

I was like 12 years old but I still can remember this innings.. and glad that people still can remember this❤️ so stylish
Standing ovation from 🇮🇳🙏
Didn't expect to see Billy Doctrove as one of the onfield umpires during that game. Time flies.
I still remember that day he missed his double ton because of that finn's ball hit the thumb finger hardly.😣
My favorite sri lankan player.
One of the most improved players from where he started out as

Dilshan, Gayle and Sehwag are basically same players, ri8 😉
@@amangoyal923 both are attacking but Gayle is power hitter who can at will hit sixes, but and sehwag are not known for power hitting
@@amangoyal923 All 3 bowled decent off spin too
Scored at over four and a half an over. No doubt he earned a 'well done thou good and faithful servant' from his teammates. Stirling effort!
Agression with class 💥💥❣️🤗
Lesson to present Indian cricket team is... Never change your natural game.... TM Dilshan
Aggressive Knock by a quality player 💯💯
Best class opener after sanath Jayasuriya
Dilshan🔥🔥
My favourite guy in that strong sl team
This is the Srilankan Team we all know and we all love to watch. Now a days Srilankan Cricket is dead
I love srilankan cricketers
One of the sri lankan Goat❤️
What an effective player. I believe his overall effect to the team was better than Sanga too.
He had played some really good shots before on the same kind of ball that he got out on. He was just tentative when he was in the 190s that's why his hands weren't as active and his bat couldn't come in front of the ball in time.
This type of innings we want from Indian openers in series Vs England this August.
(Edit:- lol replies are more than likes on my comment😅😅)

Lords is trying to satisfy lankan fans now 😂😂
Dilshan is my favourite opener 😘
Man Sri Lanka really struggling now. Its sad to see. They used to completely dominate teams with the likes of Dilshan, Jayasuriya, Mahela and Sanga.
The days of the legends' are over now
Dilshan my favorite cricketer 💯💯💯💞
Dilshan is very stylish to watch. Also most of Srilankan batsmen have very stylish batting style.
I love Sri Lanka and i also love Sir TM Dilshan i love you sir
Brave player. .,., great innings. .,.,. Great strike rate.,.,., entertaining and not a boring onr
Peak dilshan jan 2009 to mid 2012.
Just transformed into a beast.
His performance after 2012 to 2015 weren't bad either
This guy is worldclass player all formats..

There was a time a lone man from SL could score 193 and now, there is a time where whole team can't score 193 😎 What an irony!
GREAT Work
Someone have to step up like this in current squad hope they will
