Lahiru Kumara made his Test debut for Sri Lanka against Zimbabwe in 2016 and claimed his first Test victim by dismissing Peter Moor. Owing to his good form, Kumara was called-up to be a part of Sri Lanka’s squad during their tour of South Africa later that year.

He performed well in the series and even picked up his maiden fifer. His bowling figures of 6/122 are the second-best bowling figure by any bowler in South Africa.
His bowling form has continued into 2018. He has been in good form when playing outside Sri Lanka and has also picked up 26 wickets in six Test matches. 17 of those 26 wickets came in the recently concluded Test series against the West Indies where he showed just how dangerous he can be.
His form continued when Sri Lanka toured New Zealand recently as he scalped a total of nine wickets in two Test matches. This helped him climb into the fourth spot on this list.

Sunil Joseph
Sunil is a pro wrestling journalist, covering AEW and WWE news stories at Sportskeeda. He holds an MBA degree in Marketing, and has nearly 7 years of experience. A wrestling aficionado since childhood, Sunil used to imitate his favorite wrestlers as a young kid, and started writing professionally about the sport via Sportskeeda’s revenue-sharing opportunity.
Sunil admires former world champions AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, and Kenny Omega for their ability to consistently deliver great matches as well as entertain crowds with their mic skills.
If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
Always focused on making his work accurate and reliable, Sunil thoroughly checks his facts before writing his articles. When not writing for pro wrestling, he spends his time watching cricket.
