Tuesday, September 21, 2010
Mainstay of Sri Lanka’s batting order Mahela Jayawardene has reincarnated himself as an explosive T20 batsman during the IPL season three.
Playing a key role in Wayamba’s team that would compete with the best in Airtel Champions League, Jayawardene reveals his journey in a Star Cricket program.
Q. So, Mahela, tell us about your role models when you were a kid? Who inspired you to play cricket?
A.Well, I had quite a many role models. Unfortunately, there was not much cricket on TV back then. Limited people had access to televisions and only a few matches were shown. The person who had a big influence on me was none other than Arjuna Ranatunga. If I had to pick one, he would be my role model. It was a dream come true when I got a chance to play alongside him, that was in the wee hours of his career. Besides him, a lot of other players have had an influence over me.
