Thiruvananthapuram, Nov 30:
Former Sri Lanka captain Sanath Jayasuriya today said Indian batting legend Sachin Tendulkar was the best player in world cricket and nobody could replace him.
Playing cricket for more than two decade itself was a great achievement of the ace cricketer, Jayasuriya, who was here as guest of honour at the concluding ceremony of the Journalists Premier League (JPL) organised by Trivandrum Press Club, said.
“Everyone knows what he did in cricket and how dedicated he was to his country. He is a simple man and easily approachable. He is the best player I have ever seen and the best in world cricket,” former Sri Lankan captain said.
Jayasuriya, also the Chairman of the national selection committee of Sri Lanaka, said playing with Tendulkar, who retired from cricket recently, for the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL) was the best moment in his life. (PTI)
