Hey Cricket Lovers, what is your favorite Sanath Jayasuriya's memory?
Those flick shots😲🔥
Hitted six for the fast bowl 158 km speed that was simply insane🥵🤯🔥
152 against England, 189 Vs India, 2008 Asia cup final century against India.
It's 158.8 , almost 159. Truly insane@@mohamedriham3945
1996 semi vs India is hors concours
what i love about jayasuriya is every times he takes a wicket he's happy like a kid, like his very first wicket.
man got somethin like 400 wickets
zero hate comments..what a respectful player❤️🔥
Yeah
And his sex tape was over the top
@@neonboy1998 MASTER BLASTER FOR A REASON
Big fan of S Jayasuriya batting ,Thanks to Ranatunga to identify this Talent
One of the best decision
@@CricketStories007 full agree
There was desilva and then ranatunga. These 2 would just effortlessly finish games. Arjuna used to just walk his runs.
I used to be annoyed when they were batting against us. But i can agree they were really good in that era
As an Indian fan, the only 2 batsman I was ever afraid of was jaysuriya and gilchrist
Agreed
Yuvraj Singh. One player u don't wanna piss off and also Aravinda
Also add Saeed Anwar
@@NishanMariamu very much right
For India in the 90s and 2000s, Andy Flower, Sivnaraine Chanderpaul, Mathew Hayden, Sanath Jayasurya, Aravinda Diselva, Saed Anwar- they always on top form against India.
The FOUNDER The GODFATHER of attacking cricket. What a player this man was.😍 Love u legend from 🇮🇳😍
One of the greatest 🔥
I think the founder of atttacking cricket should Sir Viv Richards. Jayasuriya built on it.
@@asankadissanayake8767Viv, Duleep Mendis, Aravinda de Silva, Krish Srikanth, Mark Greatbatch all very aggressive players but Jayasuriya was the most destructive batsmen ever, closely followed by Shehwag.
@@knightofceylon-ms1us we will have to agree yo disagree on that. Sir Viv's records speak for itself. Sanath is a great player, yes. But Sir Viv was better.
One My favorite batsman in my childhood….
Jayasurya, sachin, Anwar, afridi Lara, ❤ golden memories
Yes no doubt
Afridi also lol 😂
The most brutal batsman of all time.
Exactly 💯
He didn't have Viv Richard's swag but was almost as deadly as him. But Viv was the best.
I admit the only three batsmen I was afraid of in my childhood were Justin Kemp, Adam Gilchrist and Sanath Jayasuriya.
as a sri lanka i see 2 major promotions in the sri lankan cricket history
1. promotion of jayasuriya as an opener
2. promotion of T.M.dilshan as an opener
Yess
Imagine if we had these two opening our batting... My god would have been an onslaught to any bowlers
Dilshan is no match to Jayasurya's greatness.
@@busyshah dilshan is a legend in his own right... Look what he did in the 09 t20 wc scored 198 in a test at lords with a broken hand in swinging condition... Also i never compared him to sanath, i said imagine if the 2 of them opened together... Both destructive batsman going hard at it
@@busyshahDilshan is a genius in his own right. There is a reason he has a shot named after him - the Dilscoop
In a match... Jaisuriya and kallu were opening. Posted 76 runs in 1st 5 overs, kallu got out in 5th over scoring 0 runs. That's jaisuriya. Mind-blowing
He is one of greatest of all time. Master class💯🧠💪👍👏 pure logic 👍
Yup, one of the greatest
Batting style of Lara, Sanath, Sachin, Ponting, Aravinda are unique. Cannot imitate them
Yeah
And too sanga
Sanath was a different phenomena as compared to Saeed anwar, Lara and sachin in mid 90s.......He simply focused on destroying the bowling lineups rather than style or his personal milestones.... Huge love❤ and respect from Pakistan
@@user-yr4vp1jk7j 😴😏
💯 PURE GENIUS
Titanium FOREARMS. Never seen a man so comfortably bruteforce cut shots and coverdrive sixes so consistently. Especially with those thin 90s bats and huge grounds. In fact ive never seen anyone so consistently hit sixes over extra cover at the huge MCG back then.
Love your comment but f trump
@@TW074-SL No one cares
@@supremegodemperordonaldtru3563 I know but you did so imma say it again. F traitor tRump
His cut shots was my favourite jumping in the air shaming the ball over boundaries man he was a legendary batsman
True !! I remember Jayasuriya was hammering Bret Shultz of SA, four consecutive 4s in an over in a test match in which Bret Shultz was balling nearly 150 Km per hour. Explosiveness and fearlessness of a batsman was overwhelmingly portrayed to the highest level. He played for the SL team NOT for his personal achievement that's why sometimes he got out so early.
💯💯
Also 4.4.4.4.4.4 against Young jimmy anderson
It's always a joy to watch him bat. He makes hitting sixes look effortless. I noticed that Kusal Janith Parera has this exact same batting style (probably because he grew up watching Jayasuriya bat)
Yup
kusal janith is natural right hand batsman and he converted him self to left hander in early school cricket because of sanath jayasuriya.
Father of T 20 cricket
🔥🔥
Batting style is a pure GEM to watch.
Exactly
💯
True 😍
The concept of shock and aw in the first 15 overs was invented by these guys. I remember 1996 WC when no one knew what to set a field.
Wasim Akram was once "How the hell he hammered a six over the point ?"
Akram got 16 Sixers in his entire carrier some of those by Jayasuriya
@@topbrand33thats the thing when jayasuriya starts hitting he dont look into ur face. most times he scored to legends bowlers
Probably the only batsman that I know who makes flick shot down the legside look so easy. He mastered that shot so well that when he struck Brett Lee or Glenn MacGrath for 6, it looked like a touch-and-go. A true legend. A very destructive opening batsman.
Exactly
He was really a good cricketer. Lots of Respect for the champ from India 🇮🇳
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.
Jayasuriya is one of the best🔥
There was a time when Sanath got out, Sri Lankans turned off the TV. He was one of the best entertainers ever
Wrong bro, there was another name arvind de silva
@@nirmalnandi45 The real architect of the rise of Sri Lanka cricket. Aravinda talentwise was as gifted as anyone.
@@nirmalnandi45 Agree. But Sanath was more entertaining. Ara was more reliable and technical. People loved Sana's 6s all around the ground
@@PrasangaBandara-g9syes bcoz jayasuriya got dynamite in his forearms. as a kid it was never clear to me. im like wtf...why others on the team cant hit hard same way like him without getting out😂
What no man he is just one of many that we hv ❤
He was the man who started this power hitting in the first powerplay. Before him 250 was the mark in odi...
exactly
actually it was Sanath who came up with that idea, Dave whatmore Arjuna both agreed
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.
Yeah, will work on that. Thanks for suggesting
Love Jayasuriya!
But Arvinda de Silva was just something else. You should one video on him as well.
Sure man
aravinda was one of the best hookers of his time
When we were teens we would refer to him as the guy who never got out.
@@yangerjamir0906 who
Exactly. The best counter attack was 1996 wc semi final vs india. SL was 2 downn for one run and India had literally won the match. That much home crowd that much cheering that much powerful Sachin, Jadeja, Azar, Srinath..
But then came Aravinda. Rest is history
This guy was so good, as young Indian Cricket fans we used to say he cheats with a spring bat 😂 and couldn't wait for him to get out. But then there was Aravinda De Silva😅
First Original BazBall player - Jayasurya
Agreed 💯
Nope there were many before, ex leggend viv richards that didnt even worn a helmet to show how confident he was against fast bowlers and there were many in other teams too.
Jayasuria and Lance Klusner both were the most explosive Batsman ever lived. No one matched the greatness of both of this legend.
Yesss
It wasn't only Ranatunga who turned around Jayasurya. Jayasurya started opening for Sri Lanka probably from 1993/1994. The real change in his approach of slogging from ball 1 was brought about by Dav Whatmore who was Sri Lanka's coach for the 1996 World Cup. 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. Credit where it's due.
Ranatunga promoting Jayasuriya to opening ,Ganguly promoting Sehwag and Dhoni promoting Rohit are some Landmark decission
Exactly
Azhar promoting Sachin was also special. Although a different style to the above 3 batsmen, Sachin created his own legacy in ODI
@@sharathnbsachin is classy batsman
@@Ranjanramanayake1sachin is equally destructive as consistent
This man was studied at My school st.servatius college and lived in my area Matara, Srilanka.And I still play for the st.servatius college 1st 11, cricket team,that *Sanath Jayasuriya*once played💪🇳🇬🇱🇰
🔥🔥
I thought you have played with him 🤣🤣🤣
Record for world fastest delivery went for a six, who hit this Master Blaster ❤
🔥🔥
He used to be a nightmare to India. Be with bat or ball.
Whenever he struggled a little bit, all he needed was to play a match with us, and he used to get his form back.
Yup, i remember him as just a bald spin bowler and a 6th down batsman but once he came to the 96 worldcup as an opener and sent Prabhakars bowling all over the fence, a star was born
Jayasuriya is a perfect t 20 player you wanna select these days…
Yes
As an Indian, i thought all his records were against India.. and that Arvinda Silva's bat was much wider than the rest..
Sanath Jayasurya destroyed carriers of Manoj Prabhakar n Filip de frektis in 1996 wills World cup
Exactly
Actually, Mr.Jayasuriya told an interview in Sri Lanka Mr.parbakar is the one of the most difficult ball to him, then he went to Mr.Ranthunga to get some advice then Mr.Ranthuga advice Don going to read his ball, just hit,
90's kid who just tought of "how exactly he could able to play those flick shorts" after years of journey with cricket,
its still the same, something majestic.
🔥yeah
When today's generation says that present day cricket is the best, they need to watch this batsman. Its scary how he played. 90s was an era of great bowlers and batsman. What a decade. Lucky to be in the 90s.
Yess
The GodFather oF T20 Cricket,
Greatest All Rounder Batsman Ever,
ONe MaN DeMoLition ArMY,
tHe MasTer oF All Master Blasters:
Sanath Teran Jayasuriya💎
Yeah!
What a player. Used to hate him when he blasted indian bowlers and enjoyed his batting against other teams particularly against Pak and Australia. Sanath blasted the best of Pak bowlers.Very strong fellow. See his rippling fore arms , great bat speed, excellent swivel during pull shot, blasts square of the wicket ,terrific fielder, fires fast left arm spin .
Such a treat to watch . Street smart cricketer.
Alongwith Srilanka' s Steve waugh- the one and only Aravinda de silva, they just made situations and targets look easy.
Nowadays Srilanka is not producing such great players.Now Jayasuriya became SL coach, he is trying to induce same spirit in them.
All the best to SL team.
He was one of the best🔥
In 90's he was our super campion ❤❤❤When he was on the greeze our heart was beating and we used to pray (No one can out him). When he hit 6s the camera mans cannot find where the ball goes.. He is the motivation for school kids that time to choose cricket as their sport. Kookaburra bat is also famous because of him. 1996 wills world cup was remarkable. Thank you for sharing this video regarding our master blaster. That time we heard there was a temple built in India in his name to respect him.. Love from SL
🔥🔥❤️
Jayasuriya father of T20 cricket 🏏
My favourite player. I always use his mannerism while in grease. Love his style and aggressive from india
PURE LEGEND THAT CHANGED THE GAME OF CRICKET TO NEW ERA WITH LITTLE KALU , IN HIS HOROSCOPE THERE WAS A SAYING THAT HE GOT THE POWER RAWANS SON PRINCE MEGHNADA , UNSTOPPABLE PLAYER EVEN WASIM WAS ALSO AFRAID TO BALL THIS GUY BCZ HES A PLAYER THAT DOESNT CARE WHOS THE BOWLER OR WHAT WAS THE DELIVERY , IS IT A YOKER OR NOT HE ALWAYS GOT HIS TALENT IN HIS HANDS
Maximum respect to the man. Very few people can say that they literally changed the way the game is played but Jayasuriya is one who can easily make that claim. When he came on the scene he made bowlers and teams worldwide re-evaluate how they went about playing the game, especially in the early overs of a 50-over game. Amazing hitter of a cricket ball. Imagine how he would have cleaned up playing franchise 20/20 cricket these days!
Great video good explanation with statics.
Thanks a lot🔥
This man finished Manoj Prabhakars career in 6 balls.
Yeah
What a great time 90s were for cricket. So many legends blessed the cricket pitch during that time.
Thanks a lot for this wonderful and detailed video ❤
Glad you liked it😍
Jayasuriya spring bat school gossips.. My childhood the best.. Kristen, Afridi, Mighty West Indians, changed the template of Cricket.
New definition of cricket
Killer batter... whenever he bats ..uff it was nightmare for the bowlers... Fearless 😊
Yesss
We were so fortunate to watch him play live even though the heart was racing when he is at the crease. What a legend. !
🔥🔥
Sanath was the first batsmen to cut sixes with ease!
I like the way Jayasuriya used rhythmic tap on the pitch with the bat before facing the delivery.
Just like 1 2 3 4
1 2 3
1 2 3 4
Checking his helmet,adjusting pads,tightning gloves for every single delivery.
And those flick shots for SIX were breathtaking.
I used to copy his batting style during my childhood days.
Amazing Jayasuriya
Watching him was amazing
One of the most dominating batsmen ever
Standing salute 🫡 ❤🇵🇰
One of my favourite batsmen.
One of the best
@@CricketStories007 yes 👍 no doubt. 🇵🇰👌🫡
sana❤💙
The greatest dominant batsman at the crease of all times after Vivian Richards. Lucky to have seen most of the innings of this great stroke player. A genius timer of the ball. The greatest hand eye coordination player of all times.
One of the best 🔥
As a 90's kid, I always thought why India doesn't have players like Jayasuriya. He was a proper batsman and a 10 over quota bowler. Since I started watching cricket from 1999, I can only think of 1 Indian player [Yuvraj Singh], who is capable of scoring a century and/or also bowl full 10 overs in an ODI match.
Thanks Cricket Stories for making the best video ever made for our beloved legend the master blaster Sanath Jayasuriya.🙏There was a time we switched off the TV’s when Sanath got out.He’s the one and only master blaster and there’s no replacement for him.
Sanath is a LEGEND🔥
I am from India, a 90s kid, me and my friends we still talk about the fearsome opening partnership of Jaysuriya and Kaluvitharana, only to forget Kaluveetharana didnt score as much, it was Jaysuriya alone who used to destroy us. We never feared a batsman or even opening partnership more than them, not even Hayden Langer. Bloody not even Hayden alone, Jaysuriya was scariar than Matthew Hayden .That says a lot how good the guy was
.
As a side note, you probably should do a video about Aravinda De Silva too. I may sound controversial, but for me, he is the best "Artist" Srilanka ever produced, may be the best batsman too 😊
Father of modern 20-20
yeah
Very true. Sanat Jayasuriya is the person who transformed ODI by batting in a different style in the first 10 overs by striking at high strike rate to give a flying start to the innings. He the the first batsman to hit over infield. The amazing batsman who was one of the main reason of their team winning ICC World Cup.
Yess🔥
Back in 2017 as i remeber a commentator was introducing sanath as an Old guy when he comes out to bat. He was implying that it was time to retire. Next screen came up with last 5 innings of him. Last two innings were 150+ with less than 100 balls. One of them played in england too. The guy shut his mouth immidiately.
This was back in 2006 brother. Sanath was already retired for 6 years by 2017.
One of the best cricketers in the world ever sees 😍
Yeah
Actual credit goes to invention of T20 format we need to give it to this man only he only started the trend hit like hell in first 10-20 overs and play cool for remaining 30 overs
Yeah
1996 World Cup was turning point for Jayasuriya as well for Srilankan cricket🎉🎉🎉
Yeah!!
The original master blaster.
well put together video docu... all true facts all round .. this man single handy changed all the rules and the way ODI was played ..we watched a lot of him growing up ...oh boy! what a delight back then
Exactly 💯
Many thanks for posting this video... with much love from Sti Lanka... ❤
Glad you liked it
An absolute legend and it was a great pleasure watching him . And I am so lucky to have seen him ❤
Legend 🔥
Much respect to this man. 50 over games didn’t come alive till the 40th over. He made the game exciting from ball 1
So true!
Manoj prabakar of India, phill Derffriters Sainnsbuury were some bowler whose careers were ended abruptly by Jayasuriya
Santh jayasurya, cant forget the 1996 world cup swashbuckling player..he was a terror..an absolute destroyer of bowler..damn..no PR, no Fake exaggeration, he is still the best in line with Gilchrist and Saeed Anwar..a man with low profile
He is a natural born cricketer. I have no idea how his timing was so good. If you see, he never puts too much effort when hitting sixes, it was all pure timing. First SL player to conquer all format of the game as a batsman and scored highest for SL (Test - 340, ODI - 189, T20I - 80).
One of a kind
Sanath a great player and Partnership breaker , Still remember only Srinath could get him out and Sadly 1997 he was injured Indian Bowlers struggled big time to get him out and then When Agarkar and Zaheer came in was a different time but 90s time he rocked no doubt!!!!
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
Exactly 💯
He was one of the greats, was a pleasure to watch him play over so many years!
Yesss
Love your content. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much🔥. It means a lot😍
As a young boy who used to watch 90's cricket, the very sight of both Jayasuriya and Attapattu coming out to open the innings would give me shivers and nightmares. Used to pray a lot to get the guy out asap 🙏🏻😂Jayasuriya didn't care who was bowling and at what speed at all. He would easily pull and flick any bowler at his will and score boundaries for fun. He was the perfect opening batsman with a distinctive batting style of both elegance and destruction. For me he is the best opening batsman and the greatest all-rounder of all times. The game misses him so much these days 😔
One of the best
Remember his name ❤
🔥
In 1996 Worldcup, the opening pair Sanath Jayasuriya and Kaluwitharna used to smash and used to score 60/70 odd runs in opening 5 overs. Memorable days.
Yes🔥
I watched santh Jayasuriya batting everytime I am big fan first' in cricket history his batting style and strong forearms I love 😮😮😮❤❤❤ from india 😮😮😮
🔥
He distroyed the careers of many bowlers, like manoj prabhakar, he made manoj to look like gully bowler,
yeah
Jayasurya is a legend! ❤
Huge fan no one can replace him
🔥🔥
Sanath jayasuriya.. ❤❤❤
A man who changed cricket.
yup
Jayasuriya was a pure timer of the cricket ball. Even wasim akram said that even an inch out of line you get smashed for a boundary when bowling to him.
Yesss
Literally he smashed every bowler ❤❤
#LEGEND❤❤
True
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.
Yeah
Sanath❤
Explosive...literally...loved his batting...fearless
Yessss
Hero who changed the game
Yesss
A gem of a player. a gem of a video ♥
Thank you so much!!
Nightmare of the bowlers.. master blaster sanath.❤

One and only ODI player in the world, who has made 13000++Run's and 300++ wickets 🙏🙏 what a performed 💪💪
