Ranking Top 10 current Test batsmen irrespective of ICC Rankings
Test cricket is into an interesting phase in the last couple of years.
5. Dimuth Karunaratne
Dimuth Karunaratne has given a new lease to Sri Lankan cricket and its fans. A year ago Sri Lanka was down and out in all formats against all opposition. After multiple axing of captains, Karunaratne was given the armband. Not only Karunaratne was impressive with his batting performance, but he also led the Lankans to an improbable Test series victory in South Africa earlier in 2019.
Karunaratne himself has been infertile form with the bat. In Sri Lanka’s first game of the Test championship against New Zealand, he scored a sturdy second innings century to guide his team to a Test match victory. The left-hander averaged 46 last year scoring 743 runs with 7 half-centuries and a century.
Although Sri Lanka had a dismal World Cup, his captaincy at crucial junctures proved to be imperative in their famous victory against England. The 31-year-old opener has pulled out Sri Lankan cricket from turmoil. He now has the responsibility of taking it to the height where the former greats left it.
