Biography
Muttiah Muralitharan is considered one of the greatest bowlers of all-time, having broken the record for taking the most Test and ODI wickets. He averaged an astonishing 6 wickets a game, and continues to knock the stumps down for the Chennai Super Kings in the IPL. His career has not been without set-backs - his bowling action was studied three times to ensure it was true to the game, before it was passed by the ICC to let him bowl again.
