Thisara Perera is a powerful left-handed all-rounder known for his explosive batting and useful medium-pace bowling. He made his international debut in 2009 and quickly became known for his ability to turn matches around, particularly in ODIs and T20Is. Perera’s aggressive batting style and finishing skills have won many games for Sri Lanka, especially during tight chases. With the ball, he has been a handy contributor, especially in white-ball cricket. His ability to break partnerships and bowl during middle and death overs added balance to the team. Perera is especially remembered for his incredible 13-ball 35 in the 2014 T20 World Cup final, which helped secure Sri Lanka the title. Perera has also captained Sri Lanka in limited-overs formats, where his leadership, experience, and never-say-die attitude were appreciated. He retired from international cricket in 2021, leaving behind a legacy as one of Sri Lanka’s finest modern-day all-rounders. Off the field, he is known for his humility and dedication to team success over personal glory. His presence in leagues around the world has made him a global T20 asset, but his contributions to Sri Lanka remain invaluable.
