In a bid to rejuvenate Sri Lanka's T20 World Cup campaign, captain Dasun Shanaka has warmly endorsed batting consultant Vikram Rathour. Rathour's aggressive batting strategy is seen as a key development as the team prepares for its opening match against Ireland on Sunday.

During a captain's day event, Shanaka highlighted the value Rathour brings, emphasizing his focus on adopting offensive play that allows players to unleash their potential freely. The appointment comes after Sri Lanka's lackluster run in the recent series where they lost to Pakistan and England.
