Sanath Jayasuriya(Sri Lanka)

South Africa v Sri Lanka - ICC Champions Trophy
Sanath Jayasuriya of Sri Lanka

13430 runs and 323 ODI wickets, Jayasuriya has been a perfect definition for an ODI all-rounder. In his initial days, Jayasuriya's role was just to smack the ball hard. But his tricky deliveries in death overs were lethal for the opponents.

His ability to ball precise, quick and tricky spells in crucial overs helped Sri Lanka to succeed in many high priority games. When it comes to batting, Jayasuriya was an aggressive opener and was brutal when the field restrictions were active.

It's a no-brainer, Jayasuriya is one of the greatest players which the Sri Lankan team ever produced. Although Dilshan, Chaminda Vaas gives contention for the all-rounder position, stats and experience make Jayasuriya the best.
