Considered one of the best sportsman Sri Lanka has ever produced, Muttiah Muralitharan can instill fear in the hearts of the opposition. His off-break and doosra (most lethal!) have made him one of the most successful bowler of all-time with an average of nearly six wickets per Test. At the rate which he is going, a Test tally in excess of 650 seems possible.
