A fighting century by the Sri Lankan in Colombo, when the chips were down was described by his coach as the finest innings ever by Chandimal. It was a landmark achievement by Chandimal given the situation Sri Lanka was in. He has been an important member of the Sri Lankan side and along with Angelo Mathews he has tried to fill in the big shoes of Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene. He had also scored a magnificent century in England earlier this year.
Sri Lanka’s most productive batsman in T20s and in ODIs as well, he has been in scintillating form, scoring a century and 8 half centuries over the course of the year. However, it’s the Test match environment where his country needs him the most and the signs in 2016 has been very good so far.

His vast experience has led him to know the pulse of his readers and he cross-checks information from a number of credible sources before writing a single word for their sake.
A former Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) U14 and U16 player, Arya's tryst with cricket began after watching Sachin Tendulkar in action during his childhood. He is an ardent fan of Mumbai Indians (MI) owing to Tendulkar's initial involvement and also bleeds blue for his national team. He is an admirer of Test cricket as he feels the red-ball format teaches one about every facet of life.
Arya, who feels ODIs should not be completely replaced with T20Is owing to the former's pacing and charm, would like to go back in time to 1998 and watch the Master Blaster in action. He has experience in interviewing a few Bengali cricketers such as Kazi Junaid Saifi, Shib Shankar Pal, Sayan Ghosh and Prayas Ray Barman. He has also translated a couple of Bengali cricket books, and made Indian Premier League (IPL) pre-match videos.
He likes to spend time with his family and binge on web series during his spare time.
