Candy: Sri Lanka U19 Cricket Team is playing on India tour. The Lankan cricket team will also play a three-match T20I series and an even-numbered ODI series in this country. At the moment, Sri Lanka are trailing 0-2 in the T20 series. But a young woman caught the eye even in the match. His name is Limansa Tilakratne. He also has another identity. She is the daughter of famous Sri Lankan cricketer Tillakaratne Dilshan. On the sidelines of the series against India, Limansa revealed that it was his father who inspired him to come into the game.

“Honestly, I am very proud to be his daughter,” Limansa said after the second T20I loss at the M Chidambaram Stadium. I started playing cricket not because of him but inspired by him. I am lucky to have him as a father. I am proud to bear his name.’

17-year-old Limansa, who lives in Victoria, Australia. He started his cricketing journey outside the direct supervision of his father. “When I first started playing, my father wasn’t around,” Limansa says. I used to play for fun. Didn’t think about it very seriously. My mother encouraged me. He used to send dad videos of me playing, and dad thought I had some potential. In fact, everything starts from there. Later I joined Victoria’s Under 19 team. Everything was going well, but I wanted to take the opportunity to represent Sri Lanka. Looking back now, I’m very happy with that decision.’
