His ability to vary pace and seam movement while maintaining pinpoint accuracy set him apart from his peers. His adaptable batting approach, though not extensively showcased, proved invaluable when his team required a stabilising presence.

Sanjeewa’s professional debut came at a time when Romanian cricket was starting to gain momentum. His entrance onto the scene was nothing short of sensational. Wasting no time in making a mark, he quickly became a linchpin for his team. One of his most memorable performances came during a crucial match in an international T20 series.
