Sanath Jayasuriya brutally crushes Chennai
Mumbai Indians vs Chennai Superkings - 14th May 2008 - Mumbai
We had earlier reported that Sachin Tendulkar would play this match. Well, of course he played and led the Indians well. His captaincy was un-Tendulkarish, refreshing and nice to analyze. But he is not everyone who has watched this match would talk about. Limelight is a very narrow road, and the person who trudged down that path was the great Sri Lankan Sanath Jayasuriya. He scored his 100 in 45 balls, the second fastest in the tournament. Just watch the video and have a great time.
Even good bowlers like Gony and Albie Morkel weren’t spared. It was one of those rare occasions where it does not hurt that much when Sachin Tendulkar is dismissed for less than 20. He Capped Off the achievement with these golden words at the post match presentation:
“Batting with Tendulkar, its amazing. It is….it is the best day of my cricketing career, to open the batting with him. His presence allowed me to play my natural game with ease. I would remember this day till years to come”
Of course Sachin has this effect. He is Sachin after all.
Lets see the video now:
By the way, a series of serial blasts rocked Indian city of Jaipur, where a few of my friends live. Around 200 people are dead. May they Rest in Peace.

Your friggin crazy… Sachin is a great Bat but c”mon…. Jayasuriya said it cos he is very humble and doesnt really want to take the limelight away. Afterall Sachin is the Cpt and think Jayasuriya knows better than to hurt the feeling of an Indian Hero in India. Cmon even I sympathise the Indian cricketers like Singh and the mighty sreesanth who has epitomizes the Indian courage and spirit. Well Jaya though old still loves playing in India.
