- Won World Cup in 1996 in India/Sri Lanka/Pakistan

Sri Lanka's game style over the course of the series revolutionized One Day International Cricket, and was characterized by ultra-aggressive batting in the first fifteen overs of the innings in order to take advantage of the fielding restrictions imposed during this period. This strategy has since become a hallmark of One Day International cricket. 1996 (MCMXCVI) was a leap year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar, and was designated the International Year for the Eradication of Poverty. ...
