To help his team from 55-5 to 170/6, that is some temperament and skills. Well played!

He is a Jayasurya of Middle order.
Today he was lucky. That LBW and 2 catches dropped.

He's a good batsman, who knows his scoring zones and his weakness, to be fair was dropped a couple of times against Pakistan but overall a solid batsman.
Hard to believe he retired from Intl. cricket a while back, only to make a u-turn about a week later.

During the finals, I was shouting from my couch dont give spinners to Rajapaksa at the beginning of his innings, he can tear & eat them for BF, Lunch & Dinner but this so-called international team and their management had no clue on Rajapakshas strenghts, baffling to say the least.
He is a terrific free flowing batsmen that thrives on spinners to begin with and may early on (as most batters) struggle against quality fast bowling.

That. Issue with the board. But he said family obligations. He reversed the decision a week later.
