CAK Rajitha

Chamika Asanka Karunaratne Rajitha, commonly known as CAK Rajitha, is a Sri Lankan fast bowler who has established himself as a reliable pace option across all formats of international cricket. Making his debut in the late 2010s, Rajitha has developed into a consistent performer for Sri Lanka, particularly in Test cricket where he has shown his best form with 69 wickets from 22 matches at an impressive average of 30.78. Rajitha's bowling is characterized by his ability to generate good pace and movement, making him effective with the new ball and capable of providing crucial breakthroughs. His Test match performances have been his standout achievement, demonstrating the temperament and skill required for the longest format. While his limited-overs statistics show room for improvement, with 29 ODI wickets at 41.52 and 16 T20I wickets at 36.50, he remains a valuable squad member.
