Some of the shots he played were unrealistic to eyes..Hard to imagine where he used to get all that power to hit the ball outside the park with a simple touch of magic
Haha interesting take on the short ball. Aravinda de Silva would have simply kept with the pull and hook and with today's bats they would have all gone for six. But a great player always recognizes his strengths and weaknesses and that's what Mahela did.
@Jin Amarasinghe Aravinda was a very careless batsmen at least until close to 1994. He had some good innings of course, but we also could have won more had he taken more responsibility in early 90s. But for sure that most gifted player we had and we were so lucky that he reached the peak of maturity in 1996.
Denagamage Prabodh Mahela De Silva Jayawardena was not a very beautiful batsman to watch, but I still liked him more than Warnakulasuriya Patabendige Ushantha Joseph Chaminda Vaas!
excellent player of spin bowling and a terrific slip fielder...most importantly one of the best minds in cricket..
Not one of, Simply the best until now...
@@vimukthijayasinghe6298 I mean one of the best minds in cricket not restricted with srilanka alone
Yeah I got it, I am telling that he is "the best" , not one of the best
One of the masterminds in cricket.
Love from India 🇮🇳
He might not have all the top records of the game but you can't ever doubt the genius cricket mind that he has!
One of the best brains world cricket has ever seen.
This guy scared me in the 2011 WC final 😐
He is the brain of a game such and an orchestrator i have witnessed it from my own eyes how he did it ,such an intelligent captain ❤️
Those cut shots were really magical
One of the best captain in Sri Lankan cricket history !
One of the best player in the world.
When He plays well it's treat for eyes ❤ such a classy player

Timing man
Rohit nd mahela both r silky touch batsman's ..both believe on timing shots ..and that great too
Sri Lankan cricketers are very talented.
Mahela Jayawardene batting style my favourite
I took selfie with him at Gt20 canada
Aytu tiga muchu
One of the best tactical minds in cricket
So come up with no plans😂😂😂 because mahela knows everything you going to do
One of my favourite cricket stars ever! Beyond cricket, I like his style of speaking English.
Wonderful player to watch
Master mind❤❤❤
Our SriLankan hero

He is successor of Dileep mendis
Mahela is touch player pure timing. Duleep Mendis is believes in power hitting.

Are you comparing them on skill or...?
🇱🇰❤
These players were the reason cricket became modernised and innovative❤
A good career but could have been more consistent. Averaged around 30 in some countries.
ODI average 30

He should've retired a bit early tbh. His form gradually declined unlike Sanga who became better with age
He was the most laziest cricketer thats y he averaged so low..
He was the best sri lankan t20 player
funny kp
good evening yo movies ar good but u use your mother tongue pliz can send me for English
Hadik pandya
WHat a player
His craft cost sri lanka 2012 t20 world cup
Yes
Yet his century in 2011 wc finals is one of the most underappreciated inning in Cricket history.
Rose and Rise hundred in a loosing match. He ruined dilshan’s captaincy
Luke’s drop catch was what cost us that would cup
Poor minded people. This Man lead sri lanka to so many success.
