India completed a dominant double series sweep, winning both the Physical Disability (PD) and Wheelchair T20I series 2-0 against Sri Lanka in the Sewa Niketan Foundation IND vs SL T20I Beyond Limit Trophy 2026 at the CSK Ground, Navalur, Chennai. Persistent rain washed out both scheduled matches on the third and final day, Monday, 2 November 2026, with India having already secured both series in the first two days of play.
India's Unbeaten Run Across Both Formats
India remained unbeaten throughout the three-day tournament, recording four victories in as many completed matches across the PD and Wheelchair formats. The PD side won by margins of 75 runs and 86 runs, while the Wheelchair team triumphed by seven wickets and eight wickets respectively — a clean sweep in every sense.
The tournament marked a historic first joint tour combining both disability formats, underlining growing momentum in Indian disability cricket on the international stage.
Day One: PD and Wheelchair Teams Both Prevail
India's PD team opened the tournament on 31 October with a commanding 75-run victory. After posting 179/6 in 20 overs, the bowlers dismissed Sri Lanka for 104 in 19.2 overs. Sainath Reddy was named Player of the Match for his explosive 36 off 16 deliveries.
In the Wheelchair fixture on the same day, India bowled Sri Lanka out for 62 before completing the chase at 65/3 in the 10th over, securing a seven-wicket win. Romaisar Wani earned the Player of the Match award for figures of 2/3 in 2.3 overs.
Day Two: India Extend Dominance With Bigger Margins
The second day saw India raise the bar further. The PD team, asked to bat first, posted 140/8 in 20 overs, with A. Shanmugam top-scoring with an unbeaten 32, supported by Shivashankar G.S. (31) and Vikramjeet (24). The Indian bowling attack then dismantled Sri Lanka for just 54 in 14.3 overs to win by 86 runs. Radhika Prasad returned exceptional figures of 4/13 in four overs, and Vintoo Yadav claimed 3/7.
The Wheelchair team, led by captain Somjeet Singh, sealed their series with an eight-wicket victory on 1 November. Saurabh Malik contributed an unbeaten 36 with the bat and took 2/6 with the ball, while Shiva Prasad remained unbeaten on 37 to wrap up the chase.
What the Officials Said
Ravi Chauhan, General Secretary of the Differently Abled Cricket Council of India (DCCI), hailed the result as a landmark moment. 'Winning both series 2-0 is a proud moment for Indian disability cricket. Our PD and Wheelchair teams were outstanding, and Sri Lanka competed with great spirit. This first joint tour shows what all disability formats can achieve when they work together. Thank you to everyone who supported us in Chennai,' he said.
Tournament chairman Dr William also congratulated both Indian squads and acknowledged the Sri Lankan contingent. 'I congratulate both Indian teams on a clean sweep and thank the Sri Lankan players and officials for travelling to Chennai. My thanks also go to the match officials, ground staff and volunteers who made these three days possible,' he said.
Significance and What's Next
The Beyond Limit Trophy 2026 is among the first major joint disability cricket tournaments to feature both PD and Wheelchair formats in the same series, reflecting the DCCI's push for greater visibility and unified scheduling. India's comprehensive victories — without dropping a single completed match — will strengthen the case for expanded international calendars for both formats. Eyes will now turn to whether bilateral series against other nations follow in the coming months.
Point of View
Across two entirely different physical disciplines, on a joint tour that had no precedent. What the result really signals is organisational maturity: the DCCI successfully staged a combined PD-Wheelchair series, something few disability cricket boards have attempted. The conspicuous absence, though, is broadcast and sponsorship visibility; these victories will barely register in mainstream cricket coverage despite the quality on show. The Beyond Limit Trophy could be a template for the future of inclusive cricket — but only if administrators convert goodwill into a scheduled international calendar with genuine media reach.
