Akila Dananjaya is one of the unluckiest cricketers ever. In the 2nd ODI of India’s tour of Sri Lanka in 2017, he dismissed 6 Indian batters, reducing India’s score to 131-7 in a chase of 231. One would expect Sri Lanka to win easily, but Bhuvneshwar Kumar and MS Dhoni guided India to victory in the 45th over. Four years later, during Sri Lanka’s tour of the West Indies, Dananjaya took a hat-trick in the 1st T20I, defending a score of 131. However, Kieron Pollard hit him for 6 sixes in the next over, propelling the West Indies to 98 runs in just 6 overs, and they won the match in 13.1 overs. If you know a cricketer unluckier than him, do let me know.
