Notable achievements and contributions
Throughout its history, Hindu College Colombo has produced notable alumni who have made significant contributions in various fields. The school has been supported by dedicated individuals and organizations, including the old boys associations in United Kingdom, United States and Australia.[17][18]
In November 2023, 10-year old boy rose to prominence and limelight and garnered widespread attention in social circles after claiming an eight-wicket haul without conceding any run representing Colombo Hindu College in an Under-13 interschools division II tournament match against MDH Jayawardene MV Battaramulla which was played at the Ediriweera Sarathchandra Grounds, Mulleriyawa.[19][20] Selvasekaran Rishiyudhan bowled a marathon spell of 9.4 overs and took 8 wickets without conceding a run by sending down nine maiden overs in a row to help bowl out MDH Jayawardene MV Battaramulla for just 28 runs and as a result Colombo Hindu College won by a massive margin in terms of an innings victory.
