Mahela Jayawardene
This former Sri Lankan skipper was one of the best middle order batsmen to play for Sri Lanka. He led the side to the World Cup final in 2007 where they ended up losing to Australia. He formed a formidable partnership with Kumar Sangakkara and the duo helped their side achieve numerous victories over the years.
After his retirement a couple of years ago, he left a void in the middle order which has not been filled yet. Interestingly, he could walk back into the Sri Lankan side and probably be their best batsman once again.
Surprisingly, he has been dismissed for 0 on many occasions and thus has 9 more ducks than centuries in his ODI career.
He has played a mammoth 448 ODIs for the Lankans and has scored 12650 runs. He has scored 19 centuries and has been dismissed for naught on 28 occasions.
