April 10, 2008.
MUMBAI: Sanath Jayasuriya and Sachin Tendulkar make for a potent batting combination in any form of cricket.
Twenty20 will see these two cricketing heavyweights showcase their expertise in the latest version of the game for Mumbai Indians in the DLF Indian Premier League.
Jayasuriya played in the inaugural T20 World Cup in South Africa and also gained T20 experience with English county sides Lancashire and Warwickshire last year.
The Sri Lankan, benched for the forthcoming one-day series against West Indies and having retired from Test cricket, is excited about the opportunity to play in the same team as Tendulkar. “I had a chat with Sachin in Australia when we were playing at Hobart. Playing in the same team as him will be fulfilling another milestone,” said Jayasuriya, talking to the media from Sri Lanka through teleconferencing.
