2. Dasun Shanaka (Sri Lanka)
Sri Lanka reached the final of the Asia Cup 2023 and some credit for this should go to captain Dasun Shanaka as he was without three of his front-line bowlers. While Shanaka didn’t have the best of the time on the personal front, he was a good leader in crunch matches for Sri Lanka. Against India in Super 4s, he maintained pressure on opposition batters throughout after Wellalage had hurt them at the start.
And in the must-win game against Pakistan, Shanaka shined as captain of the Sri Lanka, as he restricted the Men in Green from getting a big score, by clever bowling changes. Unfortunately, in the final of the tournament, his decision to bat first backfired due to a rain delay. This gave Indian bowlers enough to rout them for 50 runs and win the tournament.
