[@aashutoshbhagat2677]

In my childhood we used to joke that Jayasurya became destructive when he began to go bald 😂😅. Anyway in all seriousness , it was common to hear people say "Jayasurya has blasted us all over the ground." And if he was dismissed early then we had a great chance of winning. We would have a sigh of relief 😅. Anyway i remembered the ipl of 2008 or 2009 when Mumbai Indians were not really playing well in few early matches 6 or 8 matches i believe , sachin was also not there due to injury but the moment Sachin arrived to bat after missing out all those matches due to injury . Jayasurya just hit a crazy blitzkrieg of a hundred😅❤ in that match and we won that match . I dont remember who were playing against but that was his only hundred in IPL and we had won that match after losing back to back matches at the start of IPL . I think it was chennai or hyderabad team , i am not sure now . But yes that knock convinced me that if T20 cricket arrived in 1999-2000 then Jayasurya would have been the best, heck he would have broke Afridi's record of quickest hundred also for sure.😂 Anyway i miss Jayasurya even more today when i see today's plight of Sri lanka in Cricket. I miss that old Sri Lanka team from 90s and 2000s . They had a lot of great matchwinners who could take the game away from you instantly. Anyway i believe Jayasurya was Sachin and Sehwag combined in a player sometimes with ball spinning abilty which was deceptive sometimes almost on level of Warne, murali etc.

[@CricketStories007]

Jayasuriya is one of the best🔥

[@thesmashingsizzler]

2:40 it's a damn masterstroke, Arjuna Ranatunga was the smartest cricketing brain, indeed 😮 Jayasuriya was so, so destructive, I wish I could bat like him and I still try to bat in his way. The Jayasuriya Way, doesn't look for stats, just wants to destroy the attack and give his team the best possible start he could. Rohit Sharma similarly played this way in the recently ended 2023 WC. Please, next video on Mark Boucher. He's so underrated as a player.

Street smart cricketer. Alongwith Srilanka' s Steve waugh- the one and only Aravinda de silva, they just made situations and targets look easy.

It wasn't only Ranatunga who turned around Jayasurya. Jayasurya started opening for Sri Lanka probably from 1993/1994.

He along with Kaluwitharne started opening the Srilankan innings with an approach unseen of in those days. That's when Jayasurya really shined and became a household name across the cricket watchers.

It was him along with Kaluwitharana who changed the course of ODI cricket. They changed how teams approached the first 15 overs of an ODI game.

[@CricketStories007]

One of my fav opening batsman watching him from childhood since 1996 world cup...he first introduced how to destroy fast bowling in the starting overs

Thank you so much🔥. It means a lot😍

Indians Robbed the name of *Master blaster* from jayasuriya to Sachin. But these fools don't know the meaning of master blaster😂 it doesn't mean just hitting the ball. It means hitting the ball with no mercy. When did sachin used to blast the ball like Jayasuriya? When did he played like a maniac? Never. Sachin was more of a consistent batter with elegant skills. His skills with the bat was awesome. Technically he was a run machine. But not a blaster😂 So gentlemen, There's only one master blaster: *Sanath Jayasuriya* There's one and only king: *Sir Vivian Richards* There's only one magician: *Muralitharan* There's only one rawalpindi express: *Shoaib Akthar* There's only one king of swing: *Wasim Akram* There's only one prince: *Brian Lara* That's the reality.

[@lenperera6851]

Sanath is Master Blaster, Sachin is Grand Master! OK.

[@arvinds-cs1sm]

Master blaster was not stollen from Jayasuriya....it was stollen from SIR VIV RICHARDS😂😂

[@yogeshbhandari1040]

Jayasuriya was a wild hurricane against any team or any bowler anywhere if it’s his day ! A champion batsman and world champion allrounder ! Mad respect to him because of his zero attitude .

[@CricketStories007]

Exactly!
