Sri Lankan former cricketer and commentator Russel Arnold tweet "My choice is D K", after impressive performance by Dimuth Karunarathne on his test debut against New Zealand at Galle.
According to his view Tharanga Paranavitana could face competition for that opening slot from the debutant Dimuth Karunaratne, who did his own prospects no harm with an attractive half-century. He looked strong on the back foot, punching boundaries through midwicket and extra cover and even pulling in the direction of square leg. He also cashed in on some freebies on leg stump and eased to a maiden fifty.
24 years old left hander Dimuth Karunathne also highest run getter in Sri LankaA tour to South Africa in July 2012. He scored 270 (Average 90.0) runs in 2 matches with a Century.
Tharanga Paranavitana had just one half-century in his previous 11test innings.So it'll be interesting to see how the combination changes should Tillakaratne Dilshan return to the line-up in the next Test.
