M. Muralitharan (Ind vs. SL 27 Oct 2000) :It was the second innings with India chasing a steep tot al of 295 when Captain Sanath Jayasuriya put the ball in Muralitharan’s hands. India was rocked by two quick dismissals but the ship had been steadied by Little Master Sachin Tendulkar and Robin Singh.
Murli at first seemed a bit out of touch and the Indians decided to take advantage of this. However no sooner was the decision made in the batsman’s mind Murali let out a stunning delivery which foxed him. Robin Singh went in for the attack only to find the ball un-attackable. He ended up giving a simple catch. Soon even the Little Master failed to read Murali completely and he too fell. What started with the two lead to a total collapse as MuttiahMuralitharan spun a web around the batsmen. He ended the day with an awesome figure of 7 wickets for 30 runs. Muralitharan also features in the top ten wicket takers in test matches.
