#4 Tillakaratne Dilshan

Sri Lanka v Australia: Group A - ICC Champions Trophy
Tillakaratne Dilshan

Dilshan has the knack of breaking a good partnership with his off breaks. He has many memorable scalps against his name. The first one that would pop up on your mind is the picture of a diving Dilshan in the 2011 World Cup Final.

Though not everybody knows that he picked up his career best figure of 4 wickets for 4 runs in the same World Cup. It was the 26th match of the showpiece event and Sri Lanka played Zimbabwe in Pallekele. Zimbabwe were chasing a humongous 328 and they got off to a good start. At halfway stage of the match, the scorecard read 150 for 3.

That's when Dilshan took over. He claimed 3 wickets in quick succession and ran through the middle order. Sri Lanka won the match comfortably by 139 runs. Having scored 144 with the bat in the first innings, you wouldn't doubt who swept home the Man of the Match award.
