#6 Muttiah Muralitharan

Arguably one of the greatest spinners of all time, Muttiah Muralitharan became the latest entry to the magnificent list in 2000 in Galle, when Muralitharan picked up the wickets of all the eleven South African batsmen.
Muralitharan picked six important wickets in the first innings and seven wickets in the second. At the end of the match, he had bowling figures of 13/171. Boucher and Pollock got dismissed by Muralitharan twice.
After the brilliant bowling performances from Muralitharan and outstanding cricket from Jayasuriya (148) and Jayawardene (167), Sri Lanka got a comfortable victory of an innings and 15 runs.
