LPL 2023: Best XI from Most Expensive Players in the Tournament

8. Dushmantha Chameera

After missing the 2022 LPL season, Dushmantha Chameera will feature in the upcoming 2023 installment of the tournament. The talented fast-bowler got fetched for USD 70000 by B-Love Kandy at the 2023 auction. Chameera will be a key bowler in the Kandy-based franchise’s pace attack, along with Mohammad Hasnain, and Mohammad Haris.

So far, Chameera has picked up 21 wickets in 17 games at an economy of 9.04, and is the eighth-leading wicket-taker in the league. In 2021, Chameera represented Colombo Stars and became the joint-third-leading wicket-taker in the tournament, along with his teammate Seekkuge Prasanna.

The 31-year-old hasn’t played any T20I match since October 2022, but in ODIs, he has done well for Sri Lanka, grabbing six wickets in two matches at an economy of 5.06. Considering his current form in the international arena, the Kandy team management will want him to make a blockbuster comeback in the league.
