1996 World Cup Profile:
One of the most elegant batsmen in world cricket, Roshan Mahanama has never fully done justice to his undoubted raw talent with the willow. An opening batsman by trade, he has recently moved down the order, and enjoyed a revitalisation of sorts as a result. His driving off the front foot has a magical quality about it, with his cover drive being his most scintillating shot. He brings the same level of natural talent to his fielding, and is on par with the best in the world in that regard.help@cricinfo.com
