When Sanath Jayasuriya is in the mood to hit 4's & 6's it's a feast for the eyes of even the fans of the opposite team. Such a graceful master blaster he really was. Had all his shots timed with power and perfection and not just by slog. He had a unique batting style and technique throughout his career.

90's belonged to Sanath. I think his emergence brought a school-of-thought that the game can gain more speed. That gave way to endless possibilities including modern T20 concept which now create instinctively attacking players. Sanath did it naturally. Modern day players are groomed for it.

Well, he contributed to the downfall as the chief selector. Made a lot of irrational and erratic decisions. I have great respect for Jayasuriya as a player, but he was never a good manager/selector.
