The leading wicket-taker in international cricket - that is as succinct an introduction one can possibly find for Muttiah Muralidaran. Despite his unorthodox action, Muralidaran has excelled on all kinds of surfaces - so much so that several experts say he can spin the ball on glass. He has been Sri Lanka's number one spinner for years now, and despite being in the twilight of his career, he is just as enthusiastic as the younger brigade and has really taken to the twenty-over format. He finished Chennai Super Kings' leading wicket-taker in the second edition of the IPL, taking 14 wickets at an average of 18.64 and continues to be as miserly as he has been over the years.
