IPL 2008's best XI: Where are they now?

#2 Sanath Jayasuriya (Mumbai Indians)

Jayasuriya dismantled bowlers in the inaugural season

Jayasuriya made his international debut in 1989 and started the IPL as an already proven star. The Sri Lankan had shown signs of T20 form at the World Cup in 2007, after retiring from Tests in the same year.

In 2008, he joined the Mumbai Indians, scoring an unbeaten 114 (48) against the Chennai Super Kings. He then followed this up with a 48 from just 17 balls to chase down Kolkata Knight Riders' total in just 6 overs.

After IPL success, Jayasuriya regained his position in Sri Lanka's ODI team but retired completely from internationals in 2011.

Domestically, he has represented Worcestershire and also the Ruhuna Rhinos in the qualifying round of the 2011 Champions League. In 2012, he played for both the Khulna Royal Bengals in Bangladesh and Kandurata Warriors in Sri Lanka.

He has worked as a national selector and politician since his retirement.
