🏏 Nuwan Kulasekara - IPL Career Overview

Sri Lanka speedster Nuwan Kulasekara entered IPL folklore with Chennai Super Kings during the 2011–2013 seasons, becoming a vital cog in their pace attack. The sling-armed seamer’s hallmark was the new-ball swing that troubled openers across Chennai’s spin-friendly Chepauk track, giving CSK the rare luxury of early breakthroughs. Kulasekara’s ability to nail yorkers at the death further tightened MS Dhoni’s end-overs plans, earning him match-winning spells in crunch encounters. His composure under pressure and clever change-ups complemented the Super Kings’ spin-heavy blueprint, allowing Dhoni to rotate bowlers with ruthless efficiency. Though his IPL stint was brief, the impact of each Kulasekara over resonated in pivotal playoff games, cementing his reputation as the go-to seamer when swing and accuracy mattered most.


Nuwan Kulasekara IPL story: Sri Lanka’s swing craftsman spent two seasons with Chennai Super Kings, operating as a death-over specialist who quietly tilted games. Across five bowling innings he sent down 102 balls, conceded only 120 runs and still pocketed five wickets at a strike-rate of 20.40. His standout burst came against Delhi when he returned 2 for 23, the best of his brief IPL career. While the 3-wicket haul remained elusive, Kulasekara’s economy of 7.06 kept even big-hitters guessing. With the bat he had just one cameo—an unbeaten 5 off three balls featuring a crisp boundary—but Chennai valued him chiefly for his laser-guided new-ball swing. In IPL 2011 and 2012, wearing the yellow of CSK, Kulasekara proved that five wickets can be as telling as fifteen if they arrive at the crunch.
