2. Muttiah Muralitharan
The former Sri Lankan spinner, Muralitharan is one of the greatest players of all time. Despite taking 1347 wickets for Sri Lanka, Muralitharan chose to live a simple life after retirement. The shy cricketer is often seen hiding from the camera and leads a peaceful life away from the glitz of modern-day cricket. Many of his colleagues have gone on record to say that Muralitharan is one of the most humble cricketers.
