Profile Mutiah Muralitharan’s career has been dogged by the controversy over his bowling action. His bowling action has been cleared through many scientific tests, but some people still insist that his action is illegal. Murali is a prodigious spinner of the ball. He is regarded the best off-spinner in the world, at par with Saqlain Mushtaq. He has the best bowling figures in one-day cricket in the world.
