About Muttiah Muralitharan

Sri Lankan cricketer who represented his country internationally from 1992 to 2011 and is largely regarded as one of the game's greatest bowlers. In 2002, he was named the finest Test bowler of all time by the Wisden Cricketers' Almanack.

Deshabandu Muttiah Muralitharan is a Sri Lankan cricket coach and former professional cricketer. Averaging over six wickets per Test match, Muralitharan is one of the most successful bowlers in international cricket and the first to take 800 wickets in Tests. As of March 2021, he has taken more wickets in Test matches than any other cricketer. Muralitharan's international career was beset by controversy over his bowling action. Due to an unusual hyperextension of his congenitally bent arm during delivery, his bowling action was called into question on a number of occasions by umpires and sections of the cricket community. After biomechanical analysis under simulated playing conditions, Muralitharan's action was cleared by the International Cricket Council, first in 1996 and again in 1999. Muralitharan held the number one spot in the International Cricket Council's player rankings for Test bowlers for a record period of 1,711 days spanning 214 Test matches.
