5 players you didn't know have taken Test wickets

#3. Mahela Jayawardene

A master batsman, Jayawardene could also pull off magic with the ball

On a batting friendly Colombo surface, Sri Lanka won the toss and invited India to bat first. The duo of Sadagopan Ramesh and Rahul Dravid punished Sri Lanka for this blunder and added more than 200 runs for the second wicket.

Ramesh completed his hundred and looked well set for a 150 as he was unfazed by any Sri Lankan bowler. Arjun Ranatunga, Sri Lanka's skipper was running out of options and with his frontline bowlers making no impact, he threw the ball to Mahela Jayawardene, who wasn't even considered a part-time bowler then.

However, strange things happen in cricket and on that day, Jayawardene proved this fact right by getting rid of Ramesh. It was a pure surprise as Ramesh paid the price for his lapse in concentration.

This wicket, though, didn't change the Sri Lankan player's identity and he remained as a specialist batsman. He finished his career with six Test wickets but he is mostly remembered for his classy batting and rubber-like wrists that resulted in unbelievable strokes.
