Right now, the Sri Lankan team is going through a rough patch in their white-ball sojourn but at the start of this decade, things were rosy for them. They reached two consecutive T20 World Cup finals and won the 2014 edition against a strong side like India. A new chapter was added to their history books and some of the stars were expected to carry the team forward.

The former Lankan skipper, Angelo Mathews is a member of that group. With his talent, he became a central figure in the country’s cricket in no time. The all-rounder is a proven match-winner and his leadership skills are exemplary. All these qualities make him a complete package and that’s why the T20 franchises are ready to spend a fortune for his services. He has also been tagged as a marquee player in a couple of IPL auctions.

In his initial days, Mathews traded his skills for the Kolkata team. Afterward, he joined the Pune team but shambolic performances followed him as he scored mere 300 runs in 20 outings. Then after a brief hiatus, he became a part of the Delhi team for a couple of seasons but diminished returns remained constant. Mathews has been a pale shadow of himself in a league where multi-dimensional cricketers have thrived.
