Aravinda de Silva
One of the greatest ever Sri Lankan batsmen to have played the game, Aravinda de Silva led the side for a few years as well. He was a part of the Sri Lankan team which lifted their maiden World Cup win back in 1996 and played a huge role in establishing Sri Lanka as one of the top cricket playing nations as well.
An extremely calm and collective batsman, de Silva provided a lot of stability in the middle order and single-handedly took Sri Lanka to numerous victories.
However, he had the knack of getting dismissed early as well and thus; he had more ducks to his name than international centuries. He scored 17 ducks in comparison to the 11 centuries in the 308 matches he played for Sri Lanka.
