Dushmantha Chameera, born on January 11, 1992, in Rathgama, Sri Lanka, is a pace bowler known for his express pace and ability to generate bounce. His early cricketing days saw him rise through the ranks in Sri Lanka's domestic cricket, and his performances there earned him a spot in the national team.
Chameera made his debut for Sri Lanka in limited-overs cricket in 2015, showcasing his raw pace and the ability to trouble batsmen with his bounce and movement. His Test debut followed shortly after in the same year, marking the beginning of his journey in all three formats of the game. Over the years, Chameera has been a valuable asset to the Sri Lankan bowling attack, consistently delivering breakthroughs and making a mark with his aggressive style of bowling. Known for his athleticism and agility in the field, Chameera has become a key component of Sri Lanka's fast-bowling department. His ability to bowl at high speeds and adapt to different conditions has earned him recognition in international cricket.
As he continues to refine his skills and contribute to the success of the Sri Lankan team, Dushmantha Chameera will now have a new journey to take alongside KKR in this season of IPL. He will be the senior most pace bowler after Mitch Starc and will play a key role in leading and guiding the pace bowling contingent. Needless to say, Chameera's pace and swing abilities will suit the Eden Gardens pitch and his and Starc's pair will be one of the best going around. Overall, lots of things to look forward to with Chameera linking up with KKR for this season.
