3. Sanath Jayasuriya

Sanath JayasuriyaThe Sri Lankan legend once famously scored 76 runs in an innings while his non-striker was still playing at the score of 0. Sanath Jayasuriya has been heavy for the Lankans, especially against sub-continent oppositions and was easily one of the hardest hitters of the cricket ball the island nation has ever produced.

He has carried innings on his own and is considered one of the explorers of the destructive, aggressive style of batting up the order.
