Krishan Sanjula, affectionately known as “Wije,” is a highly promising wicket-keeper batter making waves in Sri Lankan domestic cricket. Renowned for his explosive strokeplay and dependable glovework, Sanjula is fast emerging as a standout performer with both bat and gloves.
A former schoolboy prodigy and Sri Lanka Under-19 representative, Sanjula first gained attention with a prolific run in Under-19 Division 1 cricket, where he scored 2,398 runs at an average of 36.33. His tally included six centuries and a monumental double hundred (253), showcasing his power with 55 sixes throughout the tournament. His natural ability and appetite for big scores saw him progress seamlessly through the age-group and Emerging levels, where he averaged 77 in the 2016/17 Under-23 Tournament, including two centuries.
In February 2017, Sanjula made his first-class debut for the prestigious Sinhalese Sports Club, joining a squad that included international stars such as Dasun Shanaka and Jeffrey Vandersay. He made a strong impression during the 2018/19 and 2019/20 Premier Tournament campaigns, scoring 401 runs at 33.41 and 383 runs at 47.87, respectively. While his red-ball form has fluctuated in recent seasons, he has established himself as a white-ball specialist and one of the most consistent run-scorers in the country’s 50-over and T20 formats.
In List A cricket, Sanjula has been a model of consistency, compiling 238 runs at 59.50 in 2021/22, 515 runs at 46.81 in 2022, 625 runs at 41.66 in 2023/24, and 388 runs at an outstanding average of 64.66 in 2024. His impact extends to T20 cricket as well, where he was among the top five run-scorers in the 2020/21 SLC Major Club T20 Tournament with 219 runs at 36.50, including three half-centuries. His crowning moment came in the tournament final, where he produced an unbeaten 71 to steer Sinhalese Sports Club to victory and earned the Player of the Final award for his match-winning performance.
Sanjula is an explosive top-order batter who can shift the momentum of a match within a few overs. Coupled with his reliable wicket-keeping and useful off-spin, he brings a well-rounded skill set and a calm presence in pressure situations.
Now firmly established on the domestic stage, Sanjula is eager to take the next step and push for national team honours. Looking ahead to 2026, he is seeking a UK club opportunity to continue his development in overseas conditions. With his blend of talent, experience, and match-winning ability, he promises to be a valuable asset for any side both on and off the field.
