Kusal Mendis
Sri Lankan wicket keeper Kusal Mendis is 32 runs behind Gill in the list of top run scorers. He finished the tournament as the second-highest run scorer with 270 runs. Like Shubman he failed to get a good start in the tournament. But came back in the very next match against Afghanistan. Where he made a fiery 92 off 84 balls, and fell short of a well deserved hundred.
He stepped up again, in the third match against Bangladesh where he got a fifty to his name. In the must win match against the Asian Giant, Pakistan, Kusal led Sri Lanka’s batting charge while chasing 252. He 91 off 87 balls, and again failed to get a hundred to his name, but his team qualified for the finals of Asia Cup.
