#4 Aravinda de Silva

Aravinda de Silva became one of the pillars of the Lankan batting

Aravinda de Silva was one of the finest batsmen of the 1990s and his performances were instrumental in Sri Lanka's rise in one-day international cricket.

De Silva's technique, temperament and the ability to negotiate all sorts of bowling attacks made him the 4th highest run-scorer during this period, as Sri Lanka claimed remarkable victories against Pakistan and Australia.

He compiled 2312 runs between the two global events, scoring at a frenetic strike rate of 81.26 (the highest among all the batsmen listed here), while his average stood at a respectable 35.03.

Along the way, he scored 2 centuries and as many as 16 half-centuries, evolving into one of the most influential members of the Sri Lankan batting line up. It all culminated in his superb century in the World Cup final against Australia at Lahore, as the Lankans won the coveted trophy for the first and so far, only time.
