2. Muttiah Muralitharan (Sri Lanka)
Muttiah Muralitharan was arguably the greatest off spinner in international cricket all through the 90s. Muralitharan could turn the ball square by giving his off spinners a real rip through the air. 'Murali' was Sri Lanka’s trump card with ball in the middle overs where he cast a web around the batsman. He went past the defences of the best batsmen on the spin friendly tracks of the subcontinent.

Muralitharan's spells were miserly and often choked the opposition for runs. Those big eyes lighten up at the point of delivery and the 'smiling assassin' was out to get batsman with his never ending hunger to pick up wickets. The 'wily old fox' spearheaded the Sri Lankan spin attack which boasted of quality spinners like Kumara Dharmasena, Upul Chandana, Sanath Jayasuriya and Aravinda De Silva.
