3) Muttiah Muralitharan and Mahela Jayawardene
Cricket fan admires Muralitharan and Mahela Jayawardene’s on-field chemistry. Both these legends were a part of the golden generation of cricketers for Sri Lanka including Sangakkara. That the wicket-keeper, Kumara Sangakkara, doesn’t make it to the list along with Muralitharan points to the fact that the Mahela-Muralitharan partnership was indeed quite special. The duo managed a total of 77 dismissals which is just a fraction of Muralitharan’s 800 scalps.
