Mahela Jayawardene was one of Sri Lanka's marquee cricketers

Be it the majestic cover drives, the kingly straight drives or even the uberly stylish flick shots, Mahela Jayawardene possessed a wide range of cricketing shots in his arsenal. Arguably the greatest right-handed batsman coming from the island nation, Jayawardene holds the distinction of being the first Sri Lankan to score 10,000 ODI runs.

Hailed for his chanceless style of play, the man from Colombo has amassed as many as 12,650 runs in his ODI career and stands as the fifth highest run-getter in the format, as of now. However, the former Sri Lankan skipper couldn't convert many of his half-centuries into hundreds and ended up 19 centuries in 418 games.
