Explanation

Sri Lanka (Sanath Jayasuriya and Romesh Kaluwitharana) revolutionized aggressive opening batting in the 1990s. Their opening partnership, particularly during the 1996 World Cup, set records for the highest first-wicket stands in ODI cricket. This aggressive approach changed how teams viewed the powerplay overs.
