evidence: After the historic victory over Pakistan, Sri Lanka skipper Dasun Shanaka revealed how MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) inspired his troops to win the summit clash. Shanaka said that the team had in mind the final of IPL 2021 when the Super Kings batted first and won. [...] "In IPL 2021, Chennai won the match batting first, and that is what was in my mind, we talked about it," Shanaka said in the post-match press conference. [...] "It can happen to any team in the world. [On the first game against Afghanistan] It happened for a good reason. We had serious discussions after that game. Each and every individual did well for us, and that is how we became champions. The fielding improved a lot in the finals. We had some mistakes in the league stages. We were 100% today, credit to the players and the coaching staff. I want to thank the Sri Lankan cricket board and the selectors as well," Shanaka added further.
