Demolishing all pre-match predictions and against all odds, Sri Lanka romped home against India in the first T20I played at Pune. After suffering a bout of defeats at the hands of New Zealand, Sri Lankan fans could breathe fresh air for the first time since a very long time.

Facebook became lit with many witty, funny and spurred-high octane posts after the tremendous performance of the islanders. Here are the best memes.

Schoolmates and now team mates!
