Sonal Dinusha (Sri Lanka)
Sonal Dinusha was in imperious form with the bat for Sri Lanka in August, dominating the two-match ICC World Test Championship series against India from start to finish.
The left-hander set the tone in the first Test in Galle with a fine century, following it up with a fighting 84 in the second innings even as the hosts suffered a defeat. He was even better in the second Test, striking 103 in the first innings before remaining unbeaten on 133 in the second as Sri Lanka held on to secure a draw in Colombo.
Dinusha’s consistent big-scoring returns across the series left him with 420 runs at an extraordinary average of 140.00 from the two Tests, comfortably making him the leading run-scorer on either side.
His consistency at the top of the order gave Sri Lanka a platform in both matches and was central to how competitive they were against India throughout the series.
