2. Junaid Khan

     He is not the highest wicket taker in the series but he was undoubtedly the best bowler on show. He is returning to international cricket after an injury lay of but he showed the skills and talent of a true world-class bowler. He showed how take wickets in placid tracks, how to use new ball how to use old ball with reverse swing and how to use the angles to trouble the batsman. It is unfortunate that any other fast bowler from either side unable to pose any of theses qualities. His Series stats of 14 wickets at 21.78 per wicket is certainly worth much but due to rain and lack of support by other players he didn’t got a chance to end in a winning side. His 5 wickets at SSC were truly magnificent and reminded the Wasim of old.

He not won a Man of Match in the series or not talked about as Thisara Perera or Nuwn Kulasekara yet he was the best bowler for Sri Lanka once again for Sri Lanka. He did his job in the first match un noticed to help Sri Lanka win the match. He bowled over 170 overs in the series highest from the both side. He was always the defendable bowler for Sri Lankan skipper in every situation. He achieved a landmark during the series taking 150 wickets in 40 matches for Sri Lanka.As always another steady series for Sri Lanka leading spinner and his statistics edges out even Saeed Ajmal which is a nice complement for his work.
