Aravinda de Silva

Aravinda De Silva was Sri Lanka’s most complete batsman in the 90s. A classy player, De Silva had a well-organized technique and all the shots in his armory to explode into the opposition's bowling attack. In the 90s, De Silva became the lynchpin of the Sri Lankan middle order with the likes of Arjuna Ranatunga and Roshan Mahanama.

De Silva looked in full command when he drove through the covers or pulled the short pitch ball with utter disdain. A man for the big occasions, his batting came good at major finals. One cannot forget his invaluable knocks in the semis and finals of the 1996 World Cup which helped Sri Lanka win their maiden World Cup title.
