Vihas Thewmika

Born on 8th September 2005, Vihas Thewmika hails from the cricket-rich soils of Sri Lanka, where the rustle of palm leaves often reverberates with tales of bat and ball. Growing up in the bustling town of Galle, cricket quickly became more than a pastime for young Vihas; it was a calling. Thewmika’s rise from the dusty local grounds to the international stage is a narrative woven with determination and skill, inspired by Sri Lanka’s illustrious history in the sport.

From a tender age, it was apparent that Thewmika had a natural flair for fast bowling. His right-arm fast-medium deliveries, coupled with a rhythmic run-up, set him apart even in his early days of youth-level cricket. His prowess with the ball was often the saviour for his school teams, earning him the attention of scouts and coaches. It didn’t take long before he was donning the Sri Lankan colours for the under-19 side, making his professional debut in a youth ODI against a touring England side, where his incisive spells laid the groundwork for what was to become a promising career.

Vihas Thewmika’s most notable achievement came during the Asia Cup Under-19 tournament, where his pivotal role in the final against India helped clinch the trophy for Sri Lanka—his figures of 4 for 22 were scintillating enough to single-handedly turn the game. His brilliant spells often left batsmen circumspect, weaving uncertainty around them with his deceptive variations and precise seam movement.

Amongst Thewmika’s career-defining moments is his fierce rivalry with the Indian youth cricket team, a foe that brought out his most spirited performances. These encounters bore witness to some of his most inspired bowling, where he blended sheer pace with cunning slow deliveries, outfoxing some of the best young talents on the subcontinent.

Vihas is known for his dauntless spirit and a never-give-up attitude, resulting in several last-minute triumphs for his team. Batting lower down the order, he’s often stepped up, delivering match-saving knocks, revealing a tenacious cricketer shaped not just by skill but also by grit and determination.

His passion for cricket not only resides in his playing prowess but also in inspiring a new generation of cricketers who dream of emulating his journey—a testament to a burgeoning career that promises to leave a lasting impact on the Sri Lankan cricketing landscape.
