IPL history: Kochi Tuskers Kerala squad - Where are they now?

#17 Thisara Perera

Thisara Perera played 4 matches for Kochi Tuskers Kerala in IPL

Kochi Tuskers Kerala snapped the Sri Lankan all-rounder, Thisara Perera in the 2011 IPL auction to bolster their lower middle over and also their pace department. Perera represented the Kochi franchise in 4 matches, where he aggregated 23 runs in 2 innings.

The left-handed explosive batsman had a highest score of 22. With his medium pace, he scalped 2 wickets in the 14 overs he bowled. Looking at his performance in the international level, it can be said that Perera failed to live up to his talent in the 2011 season of IPL.

After leaving Kochi Tuskers Kerala in 2011, Perera played for Mumbai Indians (2012), Sunrisers Hyderabad (2013), Kings XI Punjab (2014-15) and Rising Pune Supergiant (2016) in the IPL. He went unsold in this year's IPL auction. Currently, the all-rounder plays for Sri Lanka in the limited overs matches at the international level.
