Dunith wellalage whose father died during cricket match
.This is the most difficult moment for any son. The moment he learns that his father is no longer alive. For Dunith wellalage this moment came after the match against Afghanistan, when the team manager told him that his father had passed away. In that match between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan, Dunith Wellalage had a poor performance; he dropped a catch of Nabi and then in the last over, Mohammad Nabi hit five sixes off his bowling, scoring 32 runs. Sri Lanka won the match and qualified for the Super Four, but Dunith father wasn't alive to see it. However, Dunith has achieved so much in his short career that his father would surely be proud. My first memory of Dunith is from the 2023 Asia Cup when he took 5 wickets against India – dismissing Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, and Hardik Pandya. For a young bowler to dismiss these batsmen is remarkable. And in the same match, he scored 42 runs not out. He was both the highest wicket-taker and the highest scorer for his team, even though Sri Lanka lost the match. This performance made us curious to learn more about this 20-year-old who had performed so brilliantly. When he received the Man of the Match award, he congratulated India.
