Over the years, Dimuth Manohar became a stalwart of Sri Lankan cricket, contributing significantly in both domestic leagues and the international arena. He carved a niche for himself with his ability to adapt and thrive in challenging conditions. Dimuth’s left-handed batting technique was admired for its elegance as much as its effectiveness.
