The Summer Test series on the sub continent has begun so a number of decent candidates for Test Player of the Month.
Faf du Plessis (South Africa)
206 across 5 innings doesn't quite tell the tale of Faf's good month. His best performance in the last Test saw him score 118* in the first innings, the best score of the month.
Asela Gunaratne (Sri Lanka)
Only the single Test for the Sri Lankan late bloomer but has impressed overall with a 155 in two innings. He also had a little bowl...to next to no avail.
Dimuth Karunaratne (Sri Lanka)
Another one Test wonder for him but a combined 114 runs gives him a berth here. He put in a decent shift against Sri Lanka's win over Zimbabwe.
Usman Khawaja (Australia)
In a bad month for Australia the performance of Khawaja has been a boon for the Test side. In each Test he has stood at with some big scores - totalling 314 across the six innings.
Virat Kohli (India)
Kohli has always struggled against India...until this month. 405 runs across 6 innings broke this habit quite spectacularly.
