The following table consolidates match data and historical records for the India vs Sri Lanka rivalry.

Who won more India vs Sri Lanka?

Across 171 ODI meetings, India holds a commanding 99-59 advantage over Sri Lanka, according to MyKhel’s head-to-head records. That 57.89% winning percentage makes the Men in Blue the dominant force in this rivalry at the 50-over level.

Test series results

In Test cricket, the balance sheet is tighter. India drew the 2010 series in Sri Lanka 1-1 before winning the 2015 series 2-1. Wikipedia’s verified records confirm these as official results.

ODI head-to-head

Recent ODIs tell a nuanced story. Sri Lanka won by 110 runs on August 7, 2024, in Colombo, and by 32 runs four days earlier at the same venue. India responded with a dominant 302-run win on November 2, 2023, in Mumbai.

T20 records

In 33 T20I meetings, India has won 23 compared to Sri Lanka’s 9, per MyKhel’s T20 records. The rivalry remains competitive despite India’s overall superiority.

The pattern in recent ODIs shows Sri Lanka pushing India harder than the overall head-to-head record suggests, with back-to-back wins in August 2024.

Who scored 100 in 35 balls?

Rohit Sharma achieved one of cricket’s fastest centuries when he smashed a 35-ball 100 against Sri Lanka in Indore during 2017. This blistering innings remains a defining moment in the India-Sri Lanka rivalry.

Rohit Sharma’s 2017 Indore innings

The right-hander toyed with Sri Lanka’s bowlers, reaching his hundred at a strike rate exceeding 285. His ability to shift gears mid-innings turned what could have been a routine chase into a spectacle.

Context in India vs SL matches

Rohit’s masterclass came during a period when Sri Lanka struggled to contain aggressive top-order batsmen. His innings demonstrated how individual brilliance can dismantle even determined bowling attacks.

The 35-ball hundred remains the benchmark for explosive batting whenever these teams meet, with conditions often dictating whether such feats can be repeated.

What is India’s lowest score in ODI?

India’s lowest ODI total stands at 43 all out, a historic collapse that ranks among the most shocking innings in international cricket history. ESPNcricinfo’s records document this infamous performance.

Historical lowest totals

While the 43 all out remains the floor, India has experienced several concerning collapses in ODIs. The vulnerability exposed in that match prompted soul-searching among team management about batting application in challenging conditions.

Vs Sri Lanka context

Notably, India has avoided such lows against Sri Lanka in recent meetings, with the batting lineup showing improved resilience even when chasing challenging targets.

The catch is that India’s resilience against Sri Lanka contrasts sharply with that historic low, suggesting the team has strengthened mentally since that embarrassing total.

Why did India 46 all out?

India’s infamous 46 all out occurred in the first innings of the opening Test against Sri Lanka in 2014. This embarrassing collapse stunned spectators and prompted immediate questions about preparation and mental approach.

First Test 2014 details

The top order crumbled against Sri Lankan swing bowling, with the lineup folding far too cheaply on a pitch that demanded more application. The lack of fight sparked widespread criticism of batting technique under pressure.

Lessons for future matches

The 46 all out served as a wake-up call that influenced subsequent emphasis on resilience and adaptation. India’s response in later series showed they learned from that humbling experience.

What this means is that the 2014 collapse reshaped how India’s management approaches batting on tricky pitches, with lasting impact on player development philosophy.

Who hit 50 in 9 balls?

Among the fastest 50s in international cricket, some explosive efforts stand out. Sky Sports cricket coverage has tracked several instances of ultra-rapid scoring against Sri Lanka. You can see yesterday’s game results at Estadístiques de jugadors de Thunder contra Pacers.

Fastest 50 records

Players who have reached 50 in 9 balls or fewer represent the extreme end of aggressive batting. These performances typically come when conditions favor stroke-making and bowlers struggle to find rhythm.

India-SL fastest innings

While Rohit Sharma’s 35-ball hundred gets more attention, faster 50s in India-Sri Lanka matches have demonstrated the importance of calculating aggression versus all-out attack.

The historical records show India’s clear statistical edge, but Super Fours Match 6 reminded everyone why cricket rewards performance over paper advantage.

The head-to-head comparison across formats reveals India’s consistent superiority in both ODIs and T20Is, with Test cricket showing a more mixed picture since 2010.

The implication is that India’s dominance translates across formats, though Sri Lanka periodically produces upsets that keep the rivalry compelling.
