Many of his fans fondly reacted to the image with one user saying that, "Not forgetting the past is always a great quality."
Another one said "Still remember this car very well.. It was the first time I saw an Audi as a kid."
Sri Lanka became the first host nation to win the World Cup while being the third South Asian to lift the World Cup trophy in 1996, according to NDTV.
