#8 Sanath Jayasuriya

Sanath Jayasuriya

Sri Lanka's powerhouse Sanath Jayasuriya could plunder bowling attacks at will in the longer format of the game. Blessed with superb hand-eye coordination, the attacking Lankan opener thrived on batting friendly sub-continent conditions where the ball dint seam around much.

A fierce puller and cutter, Jayasuriya used his iron-like forearms to unleash some destructive shots with the willow. The Matara Mauler’ showed his hitting prowess when he scored a mammoth 340 against India at Colombo.
