Profile
Tillakaratne Dilshan is a street-smart cricketer with plenty of aggression. A natural timer with sound technique, Dilshan is a good player of pace bowling. His international career started in the year 1999 with a bang as he scored an unbeaten 163 against Zimbabwe in his debut Test. He is a sharp point fielder and a useful off-spinner with the ball. Dilshan spent time in and out of the side due to constant shuffling up and down the order but his revival as an international cricketer came in 2003. In 4 consecutive Test innings he boasted scores of 63, 100, 83 and 104. After 2007 World Cup, the all-rounder was dropped from the side but he made a strong comeback in the final Test against England with a gritty knock of 84 runs.
