Top batsmen from each country in ODIs (Current Cricketers)

8. Sri Lanka – Angelo Mathews

Angelo Mathews has never been the one has grabbed limelight with flamboyant knocks and nor he has been regarded as one of the best batters in the world. Angelo Mathews has been a silent work horse for the Sri Lankan teams. When everyone fails, Mathews is the one who carries the innings on his shoulders most of the times.

A robust batting technique combined with a calm temperament has made him earned him the reputation of being a crisis man for the Lankan Lions. The skipper of the side has seen Sri Lankan side change over the years.

He didn’t have much reason to be worried as a batsman when the likes of Jayawardene and Sangakkara played but after their retirement, much of the batting responsibility has fallen on him. But, Mathews faced the challenged wonderfully and oversaw the transition of his team. His compact batting in the middle order meant that the youngsters  in the team never felt the pressure most of the times.
