  1. Jeevantha Kulatunga – Sri Lanka -Born for Twenty20

    A player to select if you want to win twenty20 by a considerable margin.

    “Kulatunga blasts Wayamba to victory – Jeevantha Kulatunga played the stellar role, scoring a stroke-filled 78 off 45 balls and capturing 2 for 33, to steer Wayamba to a 31-run victory in the inaugural inter-provincial Twenty20 final.
    Invited to bat first, Wayamba were 18 for 2 when Jeevantha Kulatunga arrived in the middle. He weathered the storm of bowlers, who had threatened to run through the batting, before starting to display his repertoire of strokes. He lifted his team to a fighting total of 174 for 9, hitting five sixes and as many fours in his fastidious knock. two wickets(bowled and Caught and Bowl from his own bowling) and a runout. He would have claimed more wickets had not the fielders dropped as many as four easy catches.” – 2008 Provincial Twenty20,Sri Lanka

    “Colts right hand batsman Jeevantha Kulatunga cracked a career best knock of 234 in just 194 balls guiding his side to make a massive 448. Jeevantha’s knock comprised 28 boundaries and a dozen sixes.The match saving stand came when Colts were with their back to the wall with four of their top four batsmen back in the pavilion with just 32 runs on the board.” – 2009 Premier League-Sri Lanka”
