Sri Lanka won the five World Test Championship Test in 2024, putting him in controversy to make the World Test Championship Final in 2025, as recently as December. Three of those victories have come away from the house, which makes a particularly impressive run.
Kandambi pointed to examples in 2024, when it was Kamindu’s runs that saved Sri Lanka.
“When we were in Bangladesh about a year ago, we were 57 for 5, and then hundreds of twins from Kamindu and DDS [de Silva] happened. At that time the middle order was continuously scoring, but unfortunately it has not happened in this series. “D. Silva was also excellent through parts of 2024, but that year his victory was less than 50 a shadow. Kamindu. Star was the star, but now it has fallen for 15, 32 and 13 against Australia.
His dip in the output means that Sri Lanka has often faced difficult match situations. In the ongoing game, his 229 for 9 can prove to be a decent total, looking at the extremely spin-friendly nature of the pitch. But Kandambi wishes to remove more of his batsmen.
Kandambi said, “The target above 350 was ideal, but we are already nine below.” “But Kusal Mendis is there, and he has all the shots. I hope he will score some more runs and get us 275 ideally.”
