He has claimed the scalps of many top-class batsmen with his crafty deliveries, but he took some time to bowl a maiden over. Muttiah Muralitharan has finally found the perfect partner for his life's innings.

Muralitharan found her not on home turf, but in the sunny climes of neighbouring Chennai.

Finance Minister Dr. Sarath Amunugama will be among the special invitees while former World Cup winning captain Deputy Tourism Minister Arjuna Ranatunga, who staunchly defended Muralitharan throughout the infamous chucking episodes in Australia and elsewhere, will sign as a witness. A number of team mates of Muralitharan, including Captain Marvan Atapattu, are also expected to attend. Several former Indian Test players and top politicians from Tamil Nadu will also grace the ceremony.

Murali's surgeon Dr. David Young is also among the invitees. A separate reception will be held at a leading hotel in Chennai tomorrow. Spin wizard Muralitharan is just behind Australian Shane Warne in the world bowling record stakes. Dr. Amunugama is due to meet top Indian leaders after the wedding.
