All-Time Best XI of Game Changers in ODI Cricket

2.Sanath Jayasuriya (Sri Lanka):

This man Sanath Jayasuriya redefined the art of opening batting in ODIs. The way he took the advantage of the 15 over’s fielding restrictions and later, turned every over into power plays; he defined batting in ODIs in a format that is followed until now. Jayasuriya just followed a blue print used by Mark Greatbatch in the 1992 World Cup and all that he did after it is recorded as history. Gone were the times when 200 was a safe target, Jayasuriya made 300 look like a minuscule target when it came to chasing or setting a target.

His achievements in the 1996 World Cup and after that meant that Sanath Jayasuriya will forever be remembered as one of the best batsmen in the World of cricket.
