CLT20 2014: Mumbai Indians vs Southern Express - 5 players to watch out for

#3 Kusal Perera

The Sri Lankan opener showed glimpses of form in his brief knock of 37 from just 20 deliveries the other night and can take the game away from the opposition in very quick time. However, the left-hander is known for his highly risk-taking strokeplay in the powerplay and can turn into an utter flop at times.

Often compared to the former Sri Lankan great Sanath Jayasuriya for his wristy, unorthodox shots, the wicket-keeper batsman can set the stage on fire with lighting fast scoring against the new ball. The couple of boundaries of Tim Southee, albeit off poor deliveries showed that he can play some attractive shots in between. His battle against the Mumbai new ball bowlers will set the tone for the rest of the match.
