Balapuwaduge Ajantha Winslo Mendis (born 11 March 1985 in Moratuwa) known as Ajantha Mendis is a professional Sri Lankan cricketer who plays for ODIs, Tests and T20Is for Sri Lankan national cricket team. He is known as the "mystery spinner" due to the unusual bowling action and widely regarded as one of the best Twenty20 bowlers in the world arena. Mendis currently holds the record for the best bowling figure in Twenty20 history, and only bowler to take 6 wicket-haul in Twenty20 twice. As a batsman he has proven to be a useful tailender, scoring one Test fifty.

Mendis made his One Day International debut against the West Indies at Port of Spain in 2008 and took 3 for 39. He also plays for the Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League.

His first Test Match was against India at Colombo on 23 July 2008 in which he returned match figures of 8–132, thereby becoming the first Sri Lankan bowler to get an eight-wicket haul on Test debut. Mendis won the Emerging Player of the Year award at the ICC Awards ceremony held in Dubai in September 2008. He is the quickest to reach 50 ODI wickets, with 19 matches.

Until February 2017, he was the only bowler to have taken six wickets in a Twenty20 International, and he has achieved the feat twice, claiming the world record figures of 6 wickets for 8 runs for Sri Lanka against Zimbabwe on 18 September 2012. On 26 October 2012 Ajantha Mendis received the Sri Lankan order of Bantu, the highest civilian honour in Sri Lanka.
