2. Arjuna Ranatunga – Cricketer
The legendary Sri Lankan captain lead his side their historic triumph in the 1996 Cricket World Cup – a victory that came at a time where the islanders were considered rank underdogs.
He called time on his playing days in 1999 and decided to lend his sharp leadership skills to cricket administration before moving to politics where he has occupied several seats as a member of parliament.
Ranatunga currently serves as Sri Lanka’s Minister of Petroleum Resources Development.
