The Hindu: New Delhi: The agonising wait for Rajasthan Royals’ last-ball win over Mumbai Indians that booked it a place in the IPL semifinals turned out to be quite enjoyable for the Delhi Daredevils, who found a perfect getaway from the tension at teammate Tillakaratne Dilshan’s wedding here last night.

The 31-year-old Dilshan got married at a city hotel last night and the Daredevils came out in full force to wish the Sri Lankan all-rounder and his bride.

The marriage was conducted under Hindu rituals and turned out to be a refreshing experience for the team’s other foreign recruits.

“It was mesmeric. The music, the clothes that they wore, the atmosphere was completely a new experience for me. I had a good time,” said Australian pacer Brett Geeves.

And while they were enjoying the wedding, the Daredevils’ happiness was doubled by the arrival of the news that Rajasthan beat Mumbai in a last-ball humdinger.

Needing three runs of the last ball, Rajasthan benefited from a misfield and a spilt run-out chance to romp home and continue with its winning streak.

The Daredevils’ hearts would have definitely skipped a few beats during the close match but Dilshan’s wedding made sure that the team found a getaway from the tension. — PTI +/- Expand Post

Sri Lanka recall Jayasuriya to Asia Cup squad

COLOMBO, May 16 (Reuters) - Veteran Sanath Jayasuriya has been recalled to Sri Lanka's one-day squad for the Asia Cup in June.

Jayasuriya, 38, was dropped for Sri Lanka's West Indies series in April after a lean run that included a highest score of 41 in his previous 20 innings.

However, the opening batsman won his place back in the team after smashing 114 from 48 balls for the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League, an innings that included 11 sixes and nine fours.

Opener Upul Tharanga was axed to make room for Jayasuriya who will open the batting with Mahela Udawatte, who made his debut in the West Indies.

Sri Lanka also included spinner Muttiah Muralitharan, who was rested for the West Indies tour.

All rounder Farveez Maharoof and fast bowler Dilhara Fernando returned to the squad in place of pace bowlers Thilan Thushara and Ishara Amarasinghe.

The six-nation Asia Cup will be played in Pakistan from June 24 to July 6.

Squad: Mahela Jayawardene (captain), Kumar Sangakkara (vice-captain), Sanath Jayasuriya, Mahela Udawatte, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Chamara Silva, Chamara Kapugedera, Kaushal Weeraratne, Farveez Maharoof, Chaminda Vaas, Dilhara Fernando, Muthiah Muralitharan, Ajantha Mendis, Jehan Mubarak, Nuwan Kulasekera
