I think it is my best innings says Kusal Perera

March 7 (CRICKETNMORE) - Kusal Perera hit a brilliant 37-ball 66 against India in the Nidahas Trophy opener at Colombo’s R. Premadasa Stadium on Tuesday, 6 March, to lead Sri Lanka to a five-wicket win. It was an innings filled with outrageous strokes, including six fours and four sixes

“I think it is my best innings,” agreed Perera, the Player of the Match, after the game.

He went on to explain how he was desperate to recover from his injury quickly and get back for the tournament which has been organised to celebrate 70 years of Sri Lanka’s independence. “I played my club matches, did my practice, I backed myself, did my physiotherapy sessions … I wanted to go out there and express myself. That’s it,” he said.
