Dimuth Karunaratne has been a fulcrum of the Sri Lankan batting unit for quite some time. The southpaw has led his side efficiently and his performances with the bat haven’t gone down by any stretch of the imagination.

Though the Islanders have tended to underperform, the left-hander has kept scoring runs for his team. More often than not, he puts his head down and guides his team. In the recent two-match Test series against Bangladesh, Karunaratne smashed 428 runs in only three innings with two centuries.

His top score of 244 came in the opening Test at Pallekele. In 72 Tests, the 33-year-old has scored 5176 runs with 12 tons and 26 fifties. Dimuth knows the art of taking responsibility and his defence is tough to breach. Captaincy has made him a much better batsman.
