Lahiru Thirimanne is a case of study for Sri Lanka! Former Legends hails him most technically correct batsman of their Country, his Board sees him as a captain material, and his national Captains, no matter who is leading the side, always backs him.
Though, the simple thing is that amids all these hypes and praise singing, Thirimanne is a total failure as a test batsman.
And, no need to write 5000 word article about his failure, since this particular career graph of his test record tell all.
Fittingly, A Twitterati also described the enigma of Thirimanne on the base of a ‘eye opener’ fact.
“Thirimanna 5 Years Of Test Cricket – 1130 Runs
Dimuth in 2017 – 1000 Runs 😍
