Pakistan v India - 2011 ICC World Cup Semi-Final

Lasith Malinga (Fast bowler)

NSW Blues v Sri Lanka

Sri Lankan bowling armoury was known for its variety of spin options. There were only a few world-class bowlers in the squad. It all changed when Malinga debuted for the side in 2004.

His searing yorkers, deadly bouncers embellished as most destructive spells in the white ball cricket. It's not at all a surprise to see him in the crop of destructive bowlers of the 21st century.

Malinga's hairstyle is one of the most imitated fashion and is also a factor of his huge fan base. He will be the 11th member of the entertaining XI of the 21st century.
