Pramod Bhanuka Bandara Rajapaksa, commonly known as Bhanuka Rajapaksa, is a talented cricketer from Sri Lanka.
As an attacking left-handed batsman, Rajapaksa has made a name for himself with his aggressive playing style and impressive performances on the field.

Born on October 24, 1991, in Kalutara, Sri Lanka, Rajapaksa showed early signs of his abilities in the sport.
He was selected to represent his country in the 2010 Under-19 World Cup held in New Zealand.
The young cricketer was chosen as one of the team's key batsmen, and he certainly lived up to his reputation.

Throughout the tournament, Rajapaksa dazzled both fans and critics with his exceptional batting skills.
With a total of 253 runs, he emerged as the leading run-scorer for his team.
His outstanding performance earned him recognition and praise, setting the stage for a promising career ahead.

Before his noteworthy performance at the Under-19 World Cup, Rajapaksa had already made his presence felt in Australian cricket.
In 2009, he embarked on a tour with the Sri Lankan Under-19 team, where he showcased his explosive batting style.
His highlight moment came in a one-day match against Australia, where he smashed an impressive 154 runs off just 111 balls.
This stunning innings not only left a lasting impact on the series but also cemented his position as the leading run-getter.

Rajapaksa's playing style has often been compared to that of the legendary Australian cricketer, Adam Gilchrist.
Like Gilchrist, he possesses a fearless and aggressive approach to batting, often taking on bowlers with bold strokeplay.
With his natural flair and powerful hitting ability, Rajapaksa has the potential to become a dominant force in international cricket.

Beyond his cricketing pursuits, Rajapaksa has also shown an interest in other sports.
He is known to have a passion for squash and swimming, which adds to his well-rounded personality.
This passion for additional sports could potentially contribute to his discipline, athleticism, and dedication on and off the cricket field.

As Rajapaksa continues his journey in cricket, he is determined to make a mark not only within his country but also on the international stage.
With his exceptional talent and the right mentorship, he has the potential to become a significant asset for the Sri Lankan national team.
