# 3 Kusal Perera
Kusal Perera is a kind of player who can dominate any bowling attack on his day with his aggressive and attacking style of play. His match-winning 153 not out in last year’s Test series against South Africa in South-Africa is considered as one of the most memorable knocks. The 29-year-old is strong on both sides of the wicket but likes to play on the up when it is slightly short of a length on the off-side.
The left-hander can pull the ball powerfully on fast tracks. Perera can split the gaps with his powerful drives and cuts. Perera likes to hit the ball a long way when it comes to facing the spinners, which is why he is considered an explosive option as an opener. The Sri Lankan possesses the footwork to dominate the bowlers on fast wickets. Perera can rotate the strike intelligently, which can put the pressure on the bowlers.
