The world watched the developments in Mumbai Indians with great interest back in 2008, as they were fielding a really formidable side comprising the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, Robin Uthappa, Dwayne Bravo, Sanath Jayasuriya and so on. Among them, Jayasuriya's performance with the bat was unmatched by others in the side, and he finished Mumbai's top scorer in 2008.

He also scored a wonderful hundred against eventual winners Chennai Super Kings, in one of the games. The Sri Lankan legend recorded a 45 ball century which contained 11 sixes as well as the Mumbai Indians chased down 157 runs in just 14 overs. It is still the fastest century recorded by a Mumbai Indians player in IPL history.

The maverick left-hander bid adieu to international cricket in 2011.
