Dinusha became the first Sri Lankan to win the ICC monthly honor after leading the series with 420 runs and three centuries.

- Dinusha troubled Team India throughout the two-match Test series, finishing as the leading run-scorer with 420 runs at an average of 140, which helped Sri Lanka avoid a series sweep.
