Sri Lanka middle-order batter Sonal Dinusha has been named among the nominees for the ICC Player of the Month award for August. Sonal earned the nomination following his outstanding performances with the bat in the two Tests against India in the World Test Championship.
The left-handed Sonal registered his maiden century in the first Test in Galle and also scored 84 runs in the second innings. Although Sri Lanka lost the match, Sonal’s batting stood out.
Sonal produced another equally impressive batting display in the second Test in Colombo, scoring 103 runs in the first innings and an unbeaten 133 in the second to play a major role in helping Sri Lanka draw the match.
Sonal therefore amassed 420 runs from four innings in the two Tests against India at a batting average of 140.00. Significantly, it was also the highest aggregate by any batter from either team in the series.
