1. Tillakaratne Dilshan
Tillakaratne Dilshan was one of those players who made heads turn every time he stepped into the cricket field. He obliterated bowlers with his marauding bat and established his supremacy in the international arena. The Kalutara-born featured in 330 ODIs and amassed 10,290 runs at an average of 39.27. Also, he was a vital contributor with the ball and picked up 106 wickets in those outings.
Dilshan was known to take down bowling attacks with his glorious stroke play but he was not at his best in the Indian Premier League. The former Sri Lankan cricketer did play some eye-catching knocks in the marquee event but did not do the same on a consistent basis. At times, his scoring rate was also under the scanner.
Dilshan featured in 52 IPL matches and scored 1153 runs at a mediocre strike rate of 114.50. He represented Delhi Daredevils from the year 2008 to 2010 and then donned the RCB jersey from the fourth edition to the sixth edition of the T20 extravaganza. The former right-handed batter made his final IPL appearance on April 27, 2013.
