Muttiah Muralitharan, perhaps the greatest off-spinner to play the game of cricket, got married to a lady from Chennai, Madhimalar Ramamurthy, in 2005. Interestingly, Muralitharan, at one stage of his career, was the only player in the Sri Lankan team with Tamil roots.

The couple became proud parents in 2006 when they were blessed with a baby boy.
