Sri Lanka vs India 2017: 5 Sri Lankan players who need to step up

#2 Dinesh Chandimal

Chandimal's responsibilities have doubled with him becoming the captain

Chandimal might have played only one out of the two games in this series thus far. But the pressure is already on the newly anointed skipper. With scores of 10 and 2 and a dismal performance by his team, he has a lot of work to do. Motivating his troops will in itself be a hard task.

That said, he could be one of those leading from the front skippers, score runs and set an example. His last hundred came against the Bangladeshis and although India pose a totally different challenge, Chandimal has the technique and temperament to put up a fight. Sri Lanka badly need their senior player and captain to show them the way.
