Profile of Upul Chandana
- B.V.Swagath (written in 2004)
Upul Chandana hails from the fortified city of Galle.
Chandana is thirty-two years old and no inch does he look like a 32 year
old. He looks almost the same when he made his test debut 5 years back.
Another staggering fact about Upul is that he made his ODI debut way
back in 1993/94 in the Australasia Cup in Sharjah. In the same match,
Michael Bevan made his debut for Australia. Chandana is a legbreak
bowler who turns the ball sharply and also mixes it up with a googly.
Accuracy hasn’t been his forte but over the years of playing
International Cricket, he’s certainly improving on that. Chandana is one
among the game’s best fielders; he’s amazingly quick across the turf and
is simply a fantastic outfielder.
Upul Chandana’s batting reminds me of Ajit Agarkar, both of them are
good stroke makers and both hit the big sixes with ease inspite of
having a small built. With a test highest score of 92 and an ODI highest
of 89, he certainly has the potential of being a useful allrounder if
not a top class allrounder. Chandana has taken four-wicket haul in ODIs
four times, he sure is a decent bowler!
