Dynamic batsman arrived in style
January 16, 2010
Sri Lankan superstar Tillakaratne Dilshan barely had time to introduce himself to his new team-mates before he was thrust into action for the Northern Knights in yesterday's Twenty20 victory over the Wellington Firebirds.
While it wasn't the perfect start for the 33-year-old – he scored only four runs – Knights fans can expect many a firework from the opener who is still enjoying a huge rise in his cricketing stocks.
Dilshan arrived on to Mt Maunganui's Blake Park in star-fashion – via helicopter – and walked straight into his new side's warm-up.
