Thisara Perera overview
Thisara Perera is called one of Sri Lanka’s most effective all-rounders, an intelligent right-arm pacer, and a useful left-handed hitter.
Perera's key strength is his bowling but, despite being asked to bat in the lower-middle order Perera has shown his capacity to make some extraordinary finishes to an innings. Perera is adept in tackling spin and that is why he is used as a pinch-hitter in the middle-order.
