Kusal Mendis is arguably the most talented batter in the Sri Lankan playing XI and will be crucial for their chances heading into the Asia Cup later this month. The 27-year-old elegant batter is a vital cog in the middle order.

Mendis made his debut for the national side in 2015 and instantly rose to fame with his impeccable application and technique at the crease, especially in the longest format of the game.

The middle-order bulwark will have to replicate the form he has shown in red-ball cricket in the shortest format of the game. Sri Lanka will be relying heavily on the compact batter as the top order have failed frequently, in the recent outings.
