3. Mahela Jayawardene:
Mahela
Captain of the Sri Lankan cricket team, the right hand batsman is the best batsman ever produced by Sri Lankan cricket team. The 34- year old right arm medium bowler made headlines when he was named as the best international captain of the year by International Cricket Council in 2007. In the last season of IPL, Jayawardene scored 299 runs including three half-centuries when he played for the Kochi Tuskers. What makes Jayawardene a 'wanted player' is his ability to move up and down the batting order. He has been the opening batsmen for Sri Lanka for long and he continued to do the same for Kochi Tuskers in the last season as well. Teams which are looking for middle order batsmen will be the front runners for Jayawardene. Rajasthan Royals, Delhi Daredevils and Deccan Chargers are the three franchises to who will likely bid on Jayawardene. Mahela Jayawardene was bought for $1.5 million in IPL4 by Kochi Tuskers.
