He is one of the great batsmen the game has produced.Statistically, very superior.But yes! not in the same league as few before him.But that does not matter. For the last 2-3 years he was in a class of his own, free stroking, classy and of course as a rock along with Mahela who has been another great batsman from Sri Lanka.In fact the duo on sheer weight of their class, could walk into any international team.Such was their command on field and camaraderie. They will be missed for sure by cricket lovers all over the world. And yes, both were gentlemen to the core.
