Sri Lankan cricketer Dinesh Chandimal has finally ended his two-year drought of a Test century against a full-time Test playing nation, scoring his 16th ton against New Zealand on Day 1 of the 2nd Test. This also marks his ninth Test century against a different opposition, solidifying his status as a top-class batsman. However, despite showing glimpses of brilliance in the past, Chandimal has struggled with consistency and was dropped from Sri Lanka's white-ball team in 2022. Despite this, with his latest century, he has once again proven his talent and potential in the longest format of the game.
