We have much better pace bowling allrounders than him, but the advantage he has is that, he is well known by playing in IPL. The leagues sometimes pick players for their names, but not for how much contribution that they could make to that team. Thisera Perera was playing in these leagues till recently, but doing basically nothing for his team. I saw him playing in the PSL in Dubai / Abu Dabi or somewhere, it was an embarrassment to see him playing.
Any of our pace bowling allrounders who played in the T20 Invitational like Chamika Karunaratne, Dhananjaya Lakshan etc. would have done a much better job!
Chamika can end up like Thilan Thushara, it is hard to judge them based on their initial performance. I'd wait out a year or two. Same goes with Lakshan, he hasn't really proven anything to be honest. These guys have to grab pretty much 1 out of 4 international spot, which isn't easy.
He has a lot more bite than TT. TT was more of a bowler and a slogger. CK can bat a bit and uses his brain. Great find
