Iconic Sri Lankan fast bowler Chaminda Vaas was a force to reckon with during his prime in the 1990s and 2000s and has bamboozled many world-class batters with his pace, swing and variations. Even the Indian batters find a place in this category and they happened to be his victims during the Coca-Cola Champions Trophy final in October 2000.

Chasing a mammoth 300, India were never in the contest as they lost wickets like nine pins to get bundled out for a paltry 54. Chaminda Vaas accounted for half of the Indian side by dismissing skipper Sourav Ganguly, Sachin Tendulkar, Yuvraj Singh, Vinod Kambli, and Zaheer Khan to finish with figures of 5/14 from his 9.3 overs at an economy of 1.47 including a maiden.

Sri Lanka lifted the trophy with a mammoth 245-run win.
