Muttiah Muralitharan is regarded as one of the best spinners ever to play the sport of Cricket. He is one of the superstars in Sri Lanka. The Sri Lankan selectors are yet to find someone as impactful as the veteran off-spinner. The Sri Lanka spinner, recently, talked about Shane Warne and lauded the late veteran for his grit.
Muttiah Muralitharan admitted that the Australian spinner was better than him and said that he was more impactful. The veteran did not shy away from admitting that he idolized the late Australian legend when he grew up in Sri Lanka.
The world still mourns the loss of Shane Warne who left the body in early 2022. The players are yet to come out of the loss and so is Muttiah Muralitharan, who remembered the late spinner with emotional words. The Sri Lankan legend has picked more scalps in international cricket than his Australian counterpart. But that doesn’t change the fact that Shane Warne was a beast in the cricketing world.
“I think he was better than me, when I was playing I looked up to him and learnt things from him. We all miss him,” India Today quoted Muralitharan as saying.
He's done really well: Muttiah Muralitharan
However, if one must be honest, Wanindu Hasaranga has been impactful for Sri Lanka of late. Albeit it remains a question if the veteran would create as much of an impact as Muttiah Muralitharan. He remains the go-to spinner for the island nation as of now.
The veteran spinner also lauded the youngster and hailed his supremacy in T20Is. Muralitharan further added that he loves watching him bowl and backed him to produce more impactful spells.
“He's a great T20 bowler. Last 2-3 years, he's done really well. He's a young guy," Muralitharan said while talking about Hasaranga. In Australia, definitely the leg spinner will have more chances then finger spinners. He will be a difficult opponent to bat against. You have to be very careful against him,” Muttiah Muralitharan said ahead of the match against India Maharajas.
