Sanath Jayasuriya
Friday, March 20th, 2009Popularly regarded as the ‘Marauder from Matara’, Sanath Jayasuriya has been one of the talismanic icons of Sri Lankan cricket. Blessed with a fearsome ability to bludgeon the bowlers, Jayasuriya is also a very good left arm spinner for Sri Lanka. His records, especially in One day cricket are staggering. With more than 13,000 runs and 300 wickets under his belt, Jayasuriya is arguably a great in the domain of One day internationals.
Besides Sri Lanka, Jayasuriya has also represented Somerset, Mumbai Indians and Bloomfield Cricket and Athletic club. He recently became the record holder for scoring a ton at the age of 39.
