Pathum Nissanka: How is he a T20I opener?

[Rana]

If I can go after Rizwan (who is my own), nothing will stop me from going after anyone!

What are Sri Lanka thinking with this guy as an opener with a SR of 115??

A more natural free flowing aggressive batsman (Danushka Gunathilika) has been demoted down the order to accommodate this guy to Tuk Tuk his way to a labouring 50!

And Rana bhai's crusade against Tuk Tuk openers has transcended Pakistan border.

It nearly cost India on Sunday too. What were Rohit and KL doing against Naseem and Shaheen??

That was not normal, atleast for Rohit.

Sri Lanka, like Pakistan, probably don't have any other realistic options to open for them.

Pakistan still can try a fit and in form Fakhar or even Sjan Masood to be honest. But thats about it.

Gunathilika? Dickwella? Kusal Perera?

Savak in timepass = Rana in cricket section

just grab a bag of popcorn...

he is there for stability holmes... issue in Pak team and the reason why you cant compare the situation is because, we have rizu, babar, shan, ifti, all coming in to do that, ofcourse tbey will do the unthinkable like ifti did against india once a blue moon, but for majority of times they will do the usual. For SL, he is given that role... rest can really get going, and NP hasnt done that bad.

40 off 44

Don’t see anyone saying that was a good innings in the commentary box

And got mauled mercilessly just now by the world champions

Don't understand why some posters are behaving like he has started an outrageous thread. Nisanka's career SR around 115 is way below par as per today's standards. He shouldn't be playing this format.

And he is very comfortable with it.

Players like him need to be persecuted!!

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

And this guy with strike rate 115 was in top 10 rankings for some time..
LOL at ICC rankings

 

[WengerOut]

Nissanka is still a top 10 batsman according to latest T20 rankings by ICC. Just above Kohli .

Gunathilaka is injured, Dickwella was dropped for lack of form and disciplinary problems, Kusal Perera has been out of contention for quite a while.
Now please don't assume Nissanka has connections and is toxic and trying to destroy SL cricket.
