5 Players With A Century And A Four-Wicket Haul In The Same ODI Game:

Tillakaratne Dilshan:

The former Sri Lankan cricketer Tillakaratne Dilshan was often known for his aggressive batting at the top of the order but he was a useful option with the ball as well. In the 2011 Worldcup in the group stages against Zimbabwe, Dilshan scored a marvellous century while opening the innings.

He scored 144 off just 131 balls with 16 fours and one six and he was given the ball in the second innings as the sixth bowling option. The off-spinner picked up four wickets in the three overs he bowled with one maiden and gave away just four runs. It was a stunning performance from him and was rightly awarded the man of the match award.
