Jaffna Stallions have dominated the LPL so far by winning 4 out of 4 games and have looked far better than any other side in the LPL. I closely followed Stallions and can't help but notice some similarities to the IPL giant Mumbai Indians. Now obviously MI is a team with much more quality players in a much better leauge, but here are some similarities.
1) Avishka Fernando/Rohit Sharma - Again not trying to compare the quality between the players, but anyone who have watched Avishka knows how similar his batting style is to Rohit. Strong on the leg side with ability to hit sixes all around the park.
2) Tom Moores/QDK - Opening wicketkeeper batsman who is one of the overseas players.
3) Dananjaya de Silva/ SKY - comes at one down. Accumulates runs. Known for their elegant strokes.
4) Minor Banuka/Ishan Kishan - Local batsman with great potential who also can keep.
5) Thisara Perera/Kieron Pollard - Both are international stars with all round ability. I don't think I need to tell more as they are well known.
6) De Silva brothers/Pandaya brothers - Hasaranga and Hardick been the star man in their teams, while all four are good all-rounders.
7) Two overseas pace bowlers - It worked really well for MI with Boult/Pattinson/NCN and it has worked well for JS with Duanne Olivier/Shinwari/Abbot
8) Suranga Lakmal/Jasprit Bumrah - Bumrah is a far better T20 bowler but both have represented their national teams and have done well.
9) The only mismatch is Shoaib Malik plays for JS while MI have played a spinner who is mostly Chahar
