He may be the oldest man in the competition, but Sanath Jayasuriya continues to be the go-to man when the task is to post unbelievable scores or to chase down record breaking targets. A clean hitter of the cricket ball, Jayasuriya can rip the best of bowlers apart when on song. He scored 514 runs for the Mumbai Indians at an astonishing average of close to 43 in the first season, and with cat-like reflexes, agility that defies his age and a heart as big as a lion's, Jayasuriya is a complete champion.
His bat does so much of the talking that his bowling is often overlooked. Four wickets in the first edition combined with seven in the second, proves that the wily Sri Lankan is full of surprises.
