Sri Lanka cricket may be in tatters right now but between the 2011 and 2015 World Cups, batsmen from the island nation ruled the roost. Tillakaratne Dilshan, who started off as a lower-order batsman, achieved greatness only when he was promoted to open the innings for Sri Lanka.

Dilshan scored 3945 off 104 matches between the 2011 and 2015 World Cups and hit 10 centuries along the way. The batsman, who invented 'Dilscoop', brought up his highest ODI score of that period when he scored 160* in a 2012 ODI game against India in Hobart.

It was the second occasion when Dilshan had scored 160 against the same opposition and it proved to be jinxed as Sri Lanka ended up on the losing side in both the games.
