Dilshan wins ICC award


Tillakaratne Dilshan

Sri Lanka’s extravagant batsman Tillakaratne Dilshan has won the ICC Twenty20 International Performance of the Year in recognition of his 96 not out off 57 balls at the ICC World Twenty20 2009 in England.

This is the second year the award has been given to recognize the most impressive performance by a player in Twenty20 Internationals during the 12-month voting period and it continues to mark the advent of this exciting format of the game at international level.

The award rounds off a good year of Twenty20 cricket for Dilshan who took the ICC World Twenty20 by storm after showcasing his astonishing flick-shot over his head and also picked up the Player of the Tournament at the ICC World Twenty20 2009 after amassing 317 runs at an average of 52.83.

After collecting his award from last year’s winner Yuvraj Singh from India, Dilshan said: “This is a great feeling for me.

“I can’t forget about that innings - it was so important and I was really happy about my overall performance in that tournament. It was a thrill for me to do well in England and do well for my team.
