When he was a kid, Sukitha would imagine playing in the big match, and would actually practice his 100 celebration, looking at the reflection of himself off the french windows.
His innings gave momentum to the Royal first innings, and allowed them to reach a record totalof 432/7. The opening partnership of 216 between Sukitha and Malinga Maligaspe (140) was another record for the series now in its 127th year.
The celebrations went on till the wee hours of Sunday morning. The following Monday was declared a holiday for the school. It was a memorable win for the Royalists after 15 years.
