And if you're talking about cricket, then above statement applies there as well. Plus population of a country doesn't mean squat in sports. It's all about choosing the best team.

Having said that, India & Sri lanka team members have always been friendly on and off the field. Just like many pakistani players consider playing against BD in a context of family, same goes for Indian and Sri lankans due to shared heritage with south India and roots in religion and many cultural traits.
