It all started with Sanath Jayasuriya. He was the first batsman to crack the code to score quick runs in first 15 overs of the game. The flashy left-handed batsman from Sri Lanka possessed skills to dominate any bowling attack on his day. He, along with Romesh Kaluwitharana, gave opening the batting a whole new dimension.

Jayasuriya represented Sri Lanka in 445 ODIs and hammered 270 sixes. The iconic all-rounder is also the only cricketer to score 10,000 runs and pick 300 wickets in ODI cricket history.
