About Dimuth Karunaratne
A compact opening batsman, Dimuth Karunaratne is emerging as the cream of the young crop. The southpaw's first tryst with fame arrived when he cracked 131 against St. Peter's college to become the highest individual scorer for the Josephians, going past the previous best of 114 not out held by Fred Perera since 1934. Angelo Mathews and Thisara Perera also featured in that match.
Notably, Karunaratne attended the famous St. Joseph's college in Colombo which has supplied many top Sri Lankan cricketers, including Chaminda Vaas. Karunaratne let his bat do the talking in the domestic circuit and steadily progressed through the Under -19 level. Impressed with the young batsman, the selectors picked him for the series against England and Scotland. Having registered scores of 4 and 60, he showcased glimpses of his flourishing potential.
