#3 Rangana Herath
Not many would remember a certain Rangana Herath debuting against Australia way back in 1999. Muttiah Muralitharan, Sri Lanka's bowling mainstay for so many years apparently shadowed a left-arm finger spinner in Rangana Herath.
The 40-year-old made intermittent appearances in 2004, 2008 and, 2010, but could not cement a spot in the Test side until Murali called it a day.
Herath is now Sri Lanka's premier spinner in Tests and has featured in 92 of them accounting for 430 wickets. With 34 five-wicket and nine ten-wicket hauls, Herath has already etched his name in Sri Lanka's history books.
