10:57 AM IST Charith Asalanka, the Sri Lankan skipper is named Player of the Series. He states that he had no specific mantra but aimed to score big hundreds and contribute with the ball. He observes that the pitch had less bounce than the previous game but was still good for batting. He credits Kusal Mendis and Nishan Madushka for setting a solid foundation. Asalanka acknowledges Australia’s strong bowling but feels the day belonged to Sri Lanka. He separates his captaincy from his batting, focusing solely on his role as a No. 5 batter. While disappointed about missing the Champions Trophy, he looks ahead to playing consistent cricket.
