My Story - Over 25 years of Coaching
From Street Cricketer to International Coach: A Journey Fuelled by Resilience and Belief
My journey in cricket didn’t begin with grand stadiums or elite training programs, it began on the humble streets of a nearby suburb of Colombo, Sri Lanka. Like many kids in my neighbourhood, I fell in love with the game playing barefoot with makeshift gear. But unlike most, I dared to dream beyond those dusty alleys.
Despite my passion, I faced early setbacks. I couldn’t break into the first XI of my alma mater, a crushing blow in a cricket obsessed nation. But rather than let that define me, I used it as fuel. My resilience was forged in rejection. My self-belief, tested in silence. And my determination, sharpened by every closed door.

GAME STRATEGY and TACTICS
This plan might involve setting specific field placements, choosing bowling variations, and identifying key moments to apply pressure on the opposition
Chandi, is an exceptional coach and someone who I have thoroughly enjoyed playing under! Incredible insights to playing spin bowling and also the subcontinent.
Training with Chandy has been a game changer. His knowledge, dedication and communication has had a huge impact on my performance and mindset. Each session is well structured, thought out and specific to my needs. I’ve seen a vast improvement since working with Chandy. I highly recommend Chandy to any cricketers out there who are serious about reaching their potential and more. Chandy is 1 of 1!
He has not only honed technical abilities on the field, but he has also taught valuable lessons in teamwork, discipline, and perseverance. His approach to coaching focuses on building both physical and mental resilience, preparing us for not just challenges in cricket, but for life outside the sport as well. His consistent encouragement and constructive feedback have inspired to push beyond limits and strive for excellence.
I have been working almost 5 years with Hathu and it has been so fruitful to be honest. so over the last 20 years in my career I have worked with so many coaches but I can clearly said that Hathu was the best among the rest just because of his capability, understanding the players mentality , given the freedom to go out there and express yourself.
I can clearly remember when we about to play 2015 ODI World Cup in Australia and New Zealand he introduce granite in our practice sessions because in those conditions wickets r bouncy and fast so after doing those sessions my game has elevated in different level.
Testimonials
Here’s what WORLD famous players saying:
Hathurusingha, who Patterson described as a “tactical genius for batting”.
I have known Chandika for few decades. Our first interaction was when we played for SL-A team . Chandika had already represented Sri Lanka and I was playing my last year for my school.
What I admire was how competitive he was on the field. Very aggressive mind set to win games. I firmly believe that’s why he was a fantastic player. Tactically was very sharp and had great mind to read the game. I always enjoyed playing against him and when I joined the national team he was a good team mate.
I have worked extensively as a player under his coaching.
Our professional relationship began in 2014, and he guided me through significant milestones, including my ODI debut against India and during the 2015 World Cup. Our collaboration resumed in 2023, leading to marked improvements in my performance.
Hathu demonstrates exceptional technical and tactical acumen in cricket coaching. Under his guidance, particularly since 2023, I have experienced substantial development in game awareness and technical proficiency.
His coaching methodology has been instrumental in enhancing my skills as a professional cricketer. I am grateful for his mentorship and the positive impact he has had on my career.
I first worked with Chandy 12 years ago when I was starting out my career. I find Chandy always has some great thought on the technical and tactical aspects of Batting and bowling and gravitated toward him whenever he was coaching a team I was in. Chandy always has a lot of enthusiasm, positivity and appetite to help get the best out of every player
Chandi has been of the best coaches and mentors I’ve ever worked with. I’ve never been involved with a coach who has the utmost care and interest for his players. His knowledge and understanding of the game is second to none, and that’s always been evident since he’s always brought out the best in me
Hathurusingha is one of the best coaches I have worked with both as a player and now as a coach.
I have associated Chandika as a player, captain, and coach since 1998. He is someone I always look up to and his guidance has definitely left a positive mark in my cricketing journey. His most outstanding skill is his ability to identify and assess the player’s strengths and weaknesses at an early stage, thereafter, capitalise on the player’s skills. Also, his well rounded tactical knowledge about the game is another unique speciality.
