10 Current cricketers who are not made for T20 cricket

8. Dinesh Chandimal

Sri Lankan cricket in many ways has been enduring some of its worst struggling days and the senior pros like Dinesh Chandimal have left no stone turned to bring its old glory back. At present, the cricketer is a multi-format format who perhaps has a strong Test and ODI record but in the T20s Chandimal hasn’t be able to raise the ante.

Now with especially being someone who has played a total of 57 T20Is, the 31-year old has only managed to amass some 868 runs that too at a low-lying average of just 19.28. Even in terms of strike rate, Chandimal has merely nudged the ball at 104.70. Further, neither there’s been a huge pile of fifty-plus scores (5) nor there’s been plenty of sixes (17) that have been muscled from his blade.

Perhaps even when considering his overall T20 record, Chandimal with a certain amount of ascendancy has scored 3132 runs from his 136 T20 games at an adequate average of 29.54. However, the strike rate of 118.77 still comes up as flabby. Hence, with oodles of cricket still left in him to play as long as possible for Sri Lanka, Chandimal must now endeavor only in the longer formats.
