Rangana Herath, a left-arm spinner, in his early years, was seen as a support act to Muralitharan. Most of the time during that period, his role was to bowl long spells block the runs, and build pressure on the batters, allowing Murali to work his magic from the other end. But once the magician called time on his career in 2008 in Tests, Herath emerged as the saviour. 

Herath relied on his accuracy and ability to bowl long spells to help his team win games. He demonstrated his abilities not only in Asian conditions but also in international pitches. His moment in the limelight was his 9/128 in an innings against South Africa in 2011-12. He also took 5/3 against New Zealand in the T20 World Cup game in 2014.
