In the year 1992, the cricketing world was taken by storm by a young blooming spinner from Sri Lanka. With an unorthodox action and a magical spin, 20-year-old Muttiah Muralitharan showed promise of taking spin bowling to new levels. However, the cricket giants ployed against this future legend, and then, one man risked everything to save the spinner's career - Arjun Ranatunga. 

Muralitharan was accused of 'chucking' while bowling by the umpires and was then put on probation, which put him out of the ground. International Cricket Council then probed into the matter and performed a comprehensive investigation into Muralitharan's bowling action. ICC cleared the off-spinner's action of all wrong-doing.
