Muttiah Muralitharan:

One of the nicest cricketers who owns the game has many records to his name. He sits at the throne of the highest wicket-takers list in the One-day internationals as well as in the Test cricket. He haunted the world with his bowling action which has always been a part of controversies.
The Sri Lankan legend sits at the second highest post with 68 wickets in 39 innings. The prodigious spinner who had perplexed every batsman was with the 1996 winning team. Though in 2007 and 2011 he saw his team losing in the tournaments. Murali had four-fers in world cups with a 4/19 as his best.
