Basically, Dilruwan Perera is an off-spin bowler. A layman reading his stats in this series could easily mistake him for a batsman.

He has notched up a fine 92* in the series but his bowling figures have been dismal. He has conceded 344 runs in 85 overs this series at an economy rate of 4.04 with just two wickets.

With Herath set to miss out at Pallekele, Perera will lead the spin attack and needs to up his game if his side is to trouble the in-form India batsmen.
