Team India returns after losing ODI tri-series final in Sri Lanka
August 29th, 2010 - 8:31 pm ICT by ANIChennai, Aug.30 (ANI): Indian cricket team returned here on Sunday after losing in the final of the ODI tri-series in Sri Lanka.
The cricketers arrived here this morning from Sri Lanka. All the players, except Dhoni, left for their respective hometown.
Dhoni, also the captain of the Indian Premier League team Chennai Super Kings, is expected to attend a felicitation function being organised by the IPL team, where Sri Lankan spin wizard Muttiah Muralitharan will be honoured for becoming the first cricketer to scalp 800 Test wickets.
The team today arrived under police security, as the security personnel escorted the members after they landed at the Chennai airport.
On Saturday, a brilliant century by opener Tillakaratne Dilshan led Sri Lanka to register an emphatic 74-run win over India in the final.
Dilshan slammed 12 fours and a six to help his team amass a total of 299 for eight after choosing to bat first. (ANI)
