"I have not seen Don Bradman bat,but i have seen Sanath Jayasuriya"
- Sachin Tendulkar
Almost every cricket fan has seen Jayasuriya smack the best bowlers in this world all over the park.His records underline the fact that he is one of the best batsmen in limited overs game today.He holds the record of maximum number of sixes(224) and in a single match(11) both shared with Shahid Afridi.He also holds the record of fastest fifty(11 balls.He's the only player to score 10,000 runs and take over 200 wickets in ODIs.He revolutionised cricket by going all out in the first 15 overs alond with his opening partner Kaluwirtharna.
When it comes to big stage ,he has always risen to the occasion.Sri Lanka could not have even thought of winning the world cup in 1996 without this man.This will be his fifth and last world cup , most probably his last appearence in ODI.Fans will be sad to see him retire,bowlers would be relieved.
