Sri Lanka v Ireland 2022/23Karunaratne is now Sri Lanka's fifth highest Test run scorer
Sri Lanka were in the running for a spot in the World Test Championship final
At a time when his teammates struggled to put bat on ball, Karunarante put on an amazing show of resistance…
Sri Lanka secured a 2-0 series win over the West Indies
Karunaratne has managed to stand out irrespective of opposition and conditions
Still hugely reliant on few bankable stars
He is articulate as a leader, gritty and uncompromising as a player
"Freedom doesn't mean swinging at every ball. It's about playing with confidence"
The series was a thriller, just not a typical one
"I try to go for those big scores as much as I can"
