India will be playing Sri Lanka on June 8 in their second match of the ICC Champions Trophy 2017. Both the teams have played lots of ODIs in last 15 years and one time period had both of them playing ODI series so frequently that them playing this ODI after a big break is refreshing.

During the 90s and 2000s, Sri Lanka heavily dominated the ODI scene thanks to them winning the World Cup in 1996, while India had to deal with a thing batting lineup, until the arrival of Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid, which changed the scene in India's favor. In recent times though, India have severely overpowered Sri Lanka, who lost their legends in Murali and Vaas in 2011 and 2010 respectively and Sangakkara and Jayawardene in 2015.

Old warhorses Muralitharan took 3/46 and Vaas took 2/34 in their quota of 10 overs. Aravinda de Silva pitched in with the important wicket of Sachin, who was smacking the ball to all parts of the ground.

Sri Lankan batting had the experience and depth to overhaul India's total. However Javagal Srinath, who was coaxed by Sourav Ganguly into playing his final World Cup in 2003, decided to make a mark on this match. He removed Atapattu (0), Jayasuriya (12), Mubarak (0) and Aravinda de Silva (0) in a span of 8 overs to leave Sri Lanka reeling at 40/5. Srinath ended up with the figures of 4/35

Rest of the work was done by Ashish Nehra who also picked up 4/35 and Zaheer Khan who took 2/33 and Sri Lanka crumbled to 109 all out in 23 overs. India won the match by 183 runs and Javagal Srinath won his final Man of the match award in his international career.

India v Sri Lanka, Rajkot, 2009

Sri Lanka put India into bat first on a dead Rajkot pitch and it turned out to be a run fest. India raced to 153 in 20 overs thanks to Sachin Tendulkar (69 runs with 10 fours and 1 six) aiding a rampaging Virender Sehwag. MS Dhoni carried the momentum, by promoting himself to no.3 and smacked 72 runs in 53 balls with 7 fours and 3 sixes. Virat Kohli made 27 in 19 balls and Jadeja hit 30 runs in 17 balls to take India to a mammoth 414/7 in 50 overs.

Not one thought that Sri Lanka will make a match out of it, but Sangakkara must have told his batsmen to go out and give their destructive best. Tharanga (67) and a Dilshan in murderous mood took Sri Lanka to 188 in 24 overs before Tharanga got out. Then came the real mayhem as Kumar Sangakkara and Dilshan went ballistic on the Indian bowlers. Both the batsmen were going gung-ho from both ends.

Sangakkara made 90 runs in just 43 balls with 10 fours and 5 sixes. Dilshan scored his career best 160 in 124 balls with 20 fours and 3 sixes. Both added 128 runs in just 13 overs. However, Indian bowlers brought India in the game again with cheap wickets of Jayasuriya (5) and Jayawardene (3).

But as India got complacent, Kandamby (24) and Mathews (38) grabbed the opportunity and added quickfire 56 runs and SL needed 11 runs from the last over. However, Nehra bowled a tidy over and SL ended up on 411/8, 3 runs short of the target.

India won an amazing run fest, where their most economical bowler was Harbhajan with figures of 2/58.

India v Sri Lanka, Taunton, World Cup 1999

Sri Lanka were the defending champions of the World Cup in 1999, but were not having a great tournament. India also had a lackluster tournament also, but this match proved to be the one shining star for India, apart from the win over Pakistan, amidst the Kargil War tension.

The venue was Taunton and Sri Lanka asked India to bat first and Vaas got Ramesh pout for 5 runs in the first over. However, it was their only wicket for 45 overs, as Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid batted for the next 45 overs and put on the first ever 300 runs partnership in history of ODI cricket.

Ganguly was the more severe off the two and scored his highest ODI score and India's highest score in World Cup cricket of 183 in 158 balls with 17 fours and 7 sixes. Dravid kept him company with 145 runs in 129 balls with 17 fours and 1 six. Both of them added 318 runs and India were 324 when Dravid got run out. India lost some quick wickets and managed to make 373/6 in 50 overs.

Pramodya Wickramasinghe took 3/65 and was the best bowler for Sri Lanka in the mayhem, where both of their opening bowlers went for over 80 runs.

Sri Lanka had the fire power to chase that score, but Robin Singh made sure they didn't do that. After Srinath and Mohanty removed Jayasuriya, Kaluwitharana and Atapattu for cheap, Robin Singh swung into action and took 5/31. Aravinda de Silva made 56 and captain Ranatunga made 42 runs but, Sri Lanka folded for 216 runs and India won by a huge margin of 157 runs.

Sourav Ganguly won the man of the match award for his record making 183.

India v Sri Lanka, R Premdasa Stadium, 1998

Sri Lanka and India met in the finals of the tri-nation tournament the Singer Akai Nidahas Trophy in 1998, which marked the celebration of 50^th anniversary of Sri Lanka's independence.

India won the toss and decided to bat first on a regular looking Premdasa pitch. India's newly formed opening partnership of Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly decided to rewrite history on this day as both of them took the Sri Lankan bowlers to the cleaners. Sachin made 128 with 8 fours and 2 sixes and Sourav made 109 with 6 fours and 2 sixes and together, they made 252 runs for the opening wicket, which was the record at that time and stood till 2001, when they themselves broke their record.

India made 307/6 and only Jayasuriya took 2/42 in the Indian rampage. Sri Lanka looked good to give a tough fight to India in their backyard.

Jayasuriya-Kaluwitharana gave them a start of 59 runs in 8 overs. Then Marvan Atapattu (39), Roshan Mahanama (44) and Ranatunga (23) batted around the marvelous Aravinda de Silva who made a brilliant century, 105 in just 94 balls including 10 fours. He along with others took Sri Lanka closer to the target.

But some sloppy batting, losing wickets at wrong time and pressure by Indian fielders left Sri Lanka on 301, 6 runs short of the target. Ajit Agarkar took 4/53 and Sachin Tendulkar took the Man of the match award.

India v Sri Lanka, Mumbai, Final- World Cup 2011

We have kept the most brilliant and high pressure match for the last. This match was the finals of the World Cup in 2011 and Mumbai hosted both Sri Lanka and India for this high voltage and pressure match.

Kumar Sangakkara won the toss and decided to bat first on a very dicey looking Mumbai pitch. Tharanga went back for 6 and Dilshan was bowled by Harbhajan for 33. However, the two old warhorses of Sri Lankan cricket, Sangakkara (48) and Jayawardene, who scored a mesmerizing 103* stabilized Sri Lanka.

Later on, Kulasekara (32) and Perera (22 in 9 balls) pushed Sri Lanka past the 270 mark. This was perhaps the greatest Jayawardene innings ever in ODIs, as it came in trying circumstances, on a dusty Mumbai pitch and under immense pressure of a World Cup final.

India received a big jolt, when Malinga sent Virender Sehwag back on to pavilion on the 2^nd ball of the innings and then sent back Tendulkar for 18 runs and stunned the Wankhede Stadium into silence.

Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli (35) added 83 runs for the 3^rd wicket. MS Dhoni moved up the order, in front of the eventual Man of the tournament Yuvraj Singh at no.5 and made history. Dhoni and Gambhir, who fell 3 short of a well-deserved hundred on 97, put on the match winning 109 run partnership and slowly turned the game into India's favor.

Then Yuvraj (21*) and Dhoni (91*) added the required 54 runs for the victory. The win came in the 49^th over, as Dhoni hoisted Kulasekara into the long on crowd for a World Cup winning six and held the pose for the shutterbugs, as the whole stadium went crazy around him.

Sri Lanka lost their second World Cup final in a row and Kumar Sangakkara accepted defeat with grace and smile, as Sachin Tendulkar and the whole Indian team ran onto the ground and hugged Dhoni and Yuvraj, who was later diagnosed with cancer and revealed played the tournament with that illness.

India became the World Champions for the second time,28 years after their 1983 victory under Kapil Dev and MS Dhoni said that they did it for the guy who had served India with full pride and duty- Sachin Tendulkar.
