A tearaway fast coming from the dustbowls of Sri Lanka is sufficient to snatch eyeballs as of now. Furthermore, when you get a fifer against the visiting Indians, a rundown that incorporates Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan, you realize you've stirred things up around town bulls eye.
Kasun Rajitha had one such distinguishing strength. Generally unfathomable before 2015, the right arm speedy declared himself with figures of five for 68 in a three-day warm up game at Khettarama. He followed this up with sharp bowling exhibitions in the homegrown T20 competition to complete as the second-most elevated wicket-taker of the time. With a capacity to clock 140kph effectively, a thin casing and a tall arm bowling activity, he was before long optimized into the public T20I crew.
His T20I debut was similarly as noteworthy against the Indians on a zesty Pune track, where he crushed the spirit of the top-request with three wickets in his most memorable spell. His ascent, but transient, couldn't support for a really long time, with his absence of exactness ending up a significant issue, prompting him being dropped soon enough.
He returned unequivocally in the 2018 homegrown season, completing as the most noteworthy wicket-taker for Kandy in the Super Four Provincial Tournament, and followed it up as the main wicket-taker in the SLC T20 League.
An ODI and a Test call up followed soon, for certain ordinary exhibitions to continue to shunt him all through the side. He ended up to turn out to be essential for some undesirable history in October 2019, when he succumbed to David Warner's surge and gotten done with figures of 4-0-75-0 - - the most costly figures by a bowler in T20Is, of all time.
In any case, with age close by and crude speed available to him, he offers Sri Lanka a skilset that has been uncommon in their set of experiences.
