Jayawardene: Wristy and classy

Mahela Jayawardene scored his runs in a classy manner. He was more of an artist than a batsman and his wrists had an aura of magic that enabled him to wrap his runs with grace and elegance.

He was blessed with a calm mind that enabled him to handle crisis situation effectively and at the same time, he could change gears swiftly. These abilities made him a trusted and highly successful middle-order batsman.

He scored a valiant hundred in the finals of the 2011 World Cup, but unfortunately ended up losing the game. In the same tournament, in 2007 he had amassed a hundred in the semifinals which signified his ability to stand up when it mattered the most.
