There is no doubt about the fact tha the history of Sri Lankan can’t be written without one name and i.e., Sanath Jayasuriya. In fact, his impact on the support was so huge that he redefined the term ‘aggression’, especially in the limited-overs format. Having played always played a fearless cricket as an opener, Jayasuriya’s world acclaim came when he redefined opening batting not just in ODIs, but also in Test matches.

Jayasuriya played as many as 110 Test matches and 445 One-Day Internationals for his country, something that only the likes of Kumar Sangakkara and perhaps even Mahela Jayawardene have surpassed or equaled.

In recent times, age might have taken its toll on the Lankan legend, but it’s difficult to cut away cricket from his life. While he is the chief selector and he is diddling in politics, Sanath was seen helping his son out but giving him throw-downs in the nets. In fact, the manner in which he was doing so was remarkable. However, more remarkable was the fact that his son was showcasing some of the old abilities Jayasuriya had in the past.

The legendary southpaw scored 6973 runs in Tests while he piled up 13430 runs in the ODIs. He was also a handy bowler when he helped himself to an impressive 323 wickets as well, something that made him a legend almost in every aspect of the game.

It would be clear that Jayasuriya’s finest moment came in 1996 when he was one of the most impressive players in the World Cup, something that was his first and only World Cup win. This was also something that saw the Islanders win their first and only World Cup title till date. However, in spite of all this, they have now slipped into a problem of uncertainty, something that has seen them fall from grace quite badly as well.

Here is the video of the throwdowns:
