Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use Sri Lankan English Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox cricketer L. D. S. "Chippy" Gunasekara (1905 – 8 January 1974) was a cricketer and lawyer who played first-class cricket for Ceylon from 1929 to 1935.
Although he was only five feet three inches tall and played in spectacles, "Chippy" Gunasekera was a good left-handed opening batsman with a strong defence, and a fine cover fieldsman.[1] He toured India in 1932-33, top-scoring in Ceylon's first-ever first-class victory, in the match against Patiala, when he made 57 in the first innings, the only fifty on either side.[2][3] He captained Ceylon in the match against the Australians in 1935-36, top-scoring in Ceylon's second innings.[4] In club cricket in Colombo he formed an outstanding opening partnership with Mohotti Albert, and later in his career he became one of Ceylon's best leg-spin bowlers.[1]
Later Gunasekara was one of the leading criminal lawyers in Ceylon.[5] He was also a prominent cricket coach.[1]
