Modern-day Sri Lankan batters like Sadeera Samarawickrama are reigniting the love for cricket. While talented, many struggled to make substantial contributions. Samarawickrama, who showed promise on his Test debut in 2017, fell into obscurity but is now making a comeback. He gained attention through strong performances in the Lanka Premier League and the Asia Cup. Despite challenging pitches in Sri Lanka, he’s excelling, currently ranking ninth in run-getters with an average of 82.75. Samarawickrama has gained clarity about his game and is committed to consistency. He is set to face Virat Kohli, who praised his attitude in 2017.
