Asia Cup 2018: One player to watch out for from each team

Sri Lanka - Kusal Perera

Kusal Perera's batting style has been often compared to the great Sanath Jayasuriya.

Kusal Perera packs a punch even with his short height and Jayasuriya-like flair. With four international centuries already under his belt, Kusal's USP is his 90-plus strike rate in 75 ODI innings. Kusal can find the gaps at will and is a very good player square off the wicket.

Kusal is equally adept at attacking pace and spin. He can play ground-shots when the field is spread out and targets the shorter boundaries for sixes. He has hit a dozen match-winning innings against top-ranked teams and will look to replicate the same during the Asia Cup.

Akila Dananjaya was another contender among Sri Lankans but narrowly missed out to create a balance of bowlers and batsmen on this list.
