Star Sri Lankan batter, Tillakaratne Dilshan, is third on the list of the highest run scorers in the 20-20 World Cup. He appeared in 35 World Cup matches, scoring 897 runs at an average of 30.93 and a strike rate of 124.06.
Dilshan has been a great saviour for Sri Lanka cricket, leading them to the final of the 2009 World Cup, where they were defeated by Pakistan. However, Sri Lanka won the World Cup in 2014, allowing Dilshan to finish his career on a high note.
