Muralitharan has baffled the batsmen on the pitch with his tricky deliveries. He has taken 1347 international wickets at an average of 24.13.

His career’s best figures came against Zimbabwe in 2002 as he dismantled them with his figures of 9/51 he restricted the opposition for 236 and Sri Lanka went on to win that match by 94 runs and an innings.

In past, we have seen many films on Indian cricketer’s biopic like  M.S Dhoni: The Untold Story made on current wicket-keeper batsman MS Dhoni whose journey right from childhood to 2011 World Cup had been covered in 2016.

In that same year former Indian skipper, Mohammad Azharuddin’s film “Azhar” was also released and his character was played by Emraan Hashmi. Ranveer Singh will feature in Kapil Dev’s biopic the most recent one.
