- ARJUNA RANATUNGA (SRI LANKA)
This man has a big heart and a big physique too. Arjuna Ranatunga is one of the most inspirational leaders to have ever played the game. A shrewd person with an equally astute cricketing brain, the former Sri Lankan skipper had a habit of getting under the skin of the opposition. One such anecdote about his exciting nature can be traced from an incident where he called Shane Warne ‘’Shane Who?’’. His captaincy was one of the prime reasons that made the ‘Emerald Isle’ a force to reckon with in international cricket. The former left handed batsman never jogged for his singles. He would casually walk them. The short mid-wicket position had become his second home.
SIGNIFICANT ACHIEVEMENT- Led Sri Lanka to its maiden World Cup triumph in 1996.
