Talking about Sanath Jayasuriya...my mind dwindles back to the big semifinals at the Eden Gardens in the 1996 Wills World Cup. Sri Lanka were batting first in this high pressure game and shivers started in my mind as Sanath Jayasuriya walked in with little Kaluwithrana. I was unable to digest the way this Lankan opener had ended the career of my then favourite cricketer – Manoj Prabhakar at the Kotla and the career of this bowler was ended in just 4 overs of bowling to Sanath Jayasuriya! Jayasuriya had got out for a duck this time and that was a big relief for me and the entire Indian population. Even after 8 years, shivers with the same magnitude cross my mind whenever Sanath Jayasuriya is batting against India.
So what makes this man so intimidating? What makes this man cause sleepless nights to many opening bowlers in the World? Its because of the way Sanath bats with utmost disrespect to the bowlers, an amazing hand-eye co-ordination and the shining and powerful forearms which send the ball flying to the ropes at lightning speed. Sanath Jayasuriya changed the face of an otherwise submissive Sri Lankan Cricket to roaring levels with the small island becoming the World Champions in 1996. A shrewd tactical move by the smart Arjuna Ranatunga of having Jayasuriya to open the innings has paid rich dividends and this must be one of the turning points in Lankan Cricket.
