Victorious Indian team given rousing welcome in Chennai | The Indian cricket team, which clinched the Compaq Cup tri-series in Sri Lanka late on Monday night, was given a rousing welcome at Chennai Airport by fans and officials early on Tuesday morning. The cricketers left for their
respective home cities soon after their arrival. Sachin Tendulkar headed for Mumbai
along with a few other teammates. All-rounder Yusuf Pathan left for Baroda. India
beat Sri Lanka by 46 runs to clinch the four-match series, which also featured
New Zealand. Tendulkar scored his 44th ODI century, while off-spinner Harbhajan
Singh claimed five wickets to win India's first ODI series in Sri Lanka since
1998-99. Chasing a mammoth 320-run target, Sri Lanka could score only 273. There
main scorers were Tillakaratne Dilshan (42 off 29 balls), Sanath Jayasuriya (36),
Thilina Kandamby (66) and Chamara Kapugedera (35). Harbhajan Singh was the wrecker-in-chief,
claiming five wickets for 56 runs. |
