Sri Lanka's legend Lasith Malinga has issued a huge statement about the rising star Dunith Wellalage. Sharing his thoughts on SL's performance, Malinga posted Sri Lanka played with 12 players, that's how good 'Dunith' was.
Though Sri Lanka's unbeaten winning streak may come to a halt, but it didn't hold back Dunith's progression into the world of cricket. The rising star has arrived in 'style', against star-studded Indian Squad.
The youngster who just turned 20 early January, has exposed India's spin game on sub-continent pitches. He went through India's top order and made them felt perplexed.
Lasith Malinga in his post mentioned that Dunith has got 'brilliant head on his young shoulders' and with his skillset, he can be Sri Lanka's most important player in ODIs in the next decade.
Such complements coming from the mouth of a legend who owned this game with his unique bowling action speaks a lot. This will surely boost his confidence.
While, he has just stepped into this format of the game this year, but has mighty impressed giants of the game with his short stint. In absence of their star all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga, Dunith never made the team feel the void. His smooth bowling action and smart batting approach suited yesterday's match perfectly. He almost won the game for his side.
Undoubtedly, he will be a player to watch out for in the Cricket World Cup in India. If he can match up the expectation and deliver his best, he can be seen in next IPL as well. Surely, the promising youngster has a great future ahead.
