Indian cricketers have had some time out of the game as they enjoyed dinner at Lasith Malinga’s birthday party alongside Sri Lankan team.
The pleasant evening also saw the likes of former cricketers like Mahela Jayawardene and few others lit up the event along with a current crop of players. The Indian team are currently touring Sri Lanka and are having unassailable 4-0 lead in the ODI series going into the final ODI on Sunday in Colombo.
However, both sets of players looked quite relaxed at the event as they enjoyed each other’s company in a friendly environment. Here are some of the pics from the party.

India will now play Sri Lanka in the final ODI on Sunday and then lock horns in the only T20I game to finish off a memorable tour. On the other hand, Sri Lanka has plenty to improve on their dismal performances throughout the test series as well as ODI series so far.
There is a lot of stake for the home team going into final ODI as a win could tighten their grip of achieving direct qualification to 2019 World Cup. However, their fate is no longer in their hands and will largely depend on the results of West Indies in their games against Ireland and England later this month.
