Marvan scored just five runs in the two T20 matches he played

The former Sri Lankan captain was known for his classical strokes. His cover drives were a treat to watch. With over 14000 international runs, he is certainly one of the best cricketers that Sri Lanka has produced.

Over the course of his 268 ODIs, he had a strike rate of 67.72 which does not make him an ideal pick for the shortest format. He played 2 international T20s in which he could score just 5 runs.

He started his Test Career with 5 ducks in his first 6 innings. Even after such a horrible beginning, he went on to become one of the most prolific run-getters for Sri Lanka. Marvan also scored 6 double centuries in Test Cricket.
