IPL is the world's best tournament: Jayasuriya
Hailing the opportunity to open with Sachin Tendulkar at the recently concluded Indian Premier League as "a big achievement", Sri Lanka's dashing opening batsman Sanath Jayasuriya has said he had "learnt a lot" from the maestro.
"I found that even after being in the game for a long time I still had a lot to learn by talking to Sachin. His cricket knowledge was amazing," Jayasuriya said in an interview with local private radio Hiru FM.
The 38-year-old left-handed former Sri Lanka captain, who has scored over 10,000 runs in the one-day internationals, played for Mumbai Indians under Sachin's captaincy and hammered the second fastest century (unbeaten), in addition to five half centuries in the IPL 20-20 tournament.
"He (Sachin) is a great human being and an excellent captain. Myself and Dilhara (Fernando) were able to learn a lot from him," Jayasuriya said, describing the IPL series as "the best tournament" he had ever seen by all standards.
