Little Sanga Shines: Sri Lankan Teen Hits Fourth Century

Sharujan Shanmuganathan, the Sri Lankan prodigy, has once again proven why he's dubbed 'Little Sanga' by smashing his fourth century in just 15 first-class matches. Playing for Colombo against Kandy in the National Super League, he played a pivotal role in turning a disastrous 32-4 into a formidable 434-9 declared.

After a shaky start, Shanmuganathan joined forces with captain Janith Liyanage, and together they resurrected the innings with a jaw-dropping 218-run partnership. By stumps on Day 1, Shanmuganathan was sitting pretty on 82*, while Liyanage was on 130*. Despite the skipper falling early on Day 2, the young gun continued his onslaught, finishing with a career-best 145 before getting run out just five runs shy of a potential 150.

This innings is a testament to his growing reputation. With a first-class average hovering around 47.60 and 714 runs under his belt, Shanmuganathan is definitely a name to watch. His cricketing journey began with a cover drive that caught the eye of cricket legends, and now he’s rewriting records on the pitch. Keep your eyes peeled; this kid is just getting started!
