Asia Cup 2023: Team-wise fittest cricketers in the tournament

4. Sri Lanka- Dasun Shanaka

Sri Lanka’s white-ball skipper Dasun Shanaka provides all-round services to his side. Shanaka has got an athletic body with his hard work in the gym. He regularly does workouts in the gym and one can find several pictures of him sweating at the place on social media accounts. Shanaka’s diligence in the gym helps him in the game as well.

On the field, the Sri Lanka skipper easily moves his body to play a variety of shots from his bat. Former Sri Lanka opener Tilakaratne Dilshan had the tendency to play scoop shots smoothly during his playing days. Nowadays, Shanaka could be seen playing Dilshan’s favourite shot, going across and hitting the ball easily towards the boundary.

For a batter, it’s not simple to play such innovative shots with ease until he doesn't maintain a top-notch level of fitness. Along with the bat, Shanaka also puts up a diving effort on the field to grab catches and save runs for his team. Ardent cricket fans can find Shanaka’s several videos of marvellous fielding efforts.
