Sri Lanka’s best spinner, and possibly the second-best the nation has ever seen, was Rangana Herath. Having taken over 1,000 first-class wickets, 500 international wickets, and 400 Test wickets may be considered his evidence.
Before showcasing his abilities in the game’s shortest format and leading Sri Lanka to its first-ever T20 World Cup victory in 2014, the seasoned player was known as the red-ball maverick.
