It is so interesting. Sehwag said he feared muarli and muarli said the same . Game knows Game. What a champion both of them
Sehwag never said that he fears Murali. Infact he said off spinners are not bowlers ! He said that to team mate Ashwin - and routinely thwarted /carted him for sixes during practice sessions
@@vyseerx yes he did say off spinners are not bowlers in an interview however he said he feared Murali in another interview
@@vyseerx Murali is also a leg spin bowler
@@kuldipmahto6820 murali is a leg spinner? What game have you been watching.
@@pokerzlife7594 he can bowl both type of deliveries
The aura of Sehwag was simply amazing, its astonishing how quickly he could change the game, people call him very aggressive as a batsman but the truth is he only took calculated risks, its just that his defence was very underrated
His defence was lame. He was luck he wasn't playing in the 90s against real swing bowlers. He didn't have an aura like Tendulkar btw
Aura of sehwag?? The guy looks like a property dealer from greater noida.
@@snow2419 I can’t 🤣🤣🤣
Thats why sehwag and yuvi were feared more than Sachin
@@sugs1191 these are if's and buts
Murali - such a blissfully humble guy. Great individual and legend.
but chucker
@@cshekhar60 Shut uppppp
@@cshekhar60 for the kangaroos only
Imagine being one of the greats of the game and still being this humble. What a decent human being.
Sehwag in Galle 2008 was sensational. He reserved special treatment for Ajantha Mendis who had kinda embarrassed the Indian batting unit in the series and in the Asia Cup final a year earlier. The only other time I've seen a batter deflate Murali to that extent in Sri Lanka is Lara.
Brian Lara in that series scored 688 runs. 688 in a series that West Indies lost 3-0. In a series where Vaas was lethal - between them they took 48 out of the possible 60 wickets available in that series. Just remembering what Lara did to Murali in that series still leaves me in awe.
Asia Cup was in 2008 only, not the year before😑😑
Loved the way Murali spoke of Lara!!!!! Love this man. So humble.
Murali is the G.O.A.T of cricket
Kallis says "Hi"
Shardul says "Hi"
Warne - Am I a joke to you?
@@karanjain2217 Ruko Zara Sabar Karo
He is a contender for goat.
A legend talking about two other legends- Brian lara and Virendra Sehvag. Such fulsome praise. Only greats can talk with such candor about other greats
If there was one guy who could change a game quickly, it has to be Virender Sehwag. Its crazy how he could turn the game. Single handedly changed Indian test cricket the way he batted. And Lara is pure class. Loved his stance, the follow through and the flare.
Respect to Murali for his unfiltered views on the batsman he played against and appreciating the greatness of the batsman .... all while being a legend himself
Watching Brian Lara bat is a one of the best sights in cricket .
this is so true ,viru and lara are the best player's of spin bowling i have seen and also the most dominating
Not Viru imo. I've seen better. Aravinda, sidhu, Azhar, flower, cronje, Saleem Malik all played spin better than Viru imo. Younis khan too probably
@@sugs1191 you must be a Muslim
Gautam Gambhir and Laxman were probably better players of spin than Sehwag.
@@Manishnishad007 what???
@@youtubeabcds7467 that's not my opinion I have seen sehwag play some of the most destructive innings vs top spinners like murly and warne like in galle,Chennai,and in mumbai which can only be compared with some of Lara's innings
Mavan Atapattu was a delight to watch when he was on full form 🙌🏼. One of the best Sri Lankan player from the golden era
I like his cover drivers without moving is body .. the best during 1999-2007 era
Attapatu is an ok player. He only scored run in SL or flat pitches. Also he scored a ton of ducks at the start of his career. Despite playing half of his cricket on flat pitches, he only averages 39.
@@somdutta7322 His Average would be far better if he didn’t scored those Ducks. If you thinks he only scored on flat pitches , That apply to most of the Sub continental Cricketers . For Atapatu Most of his best innings we’re on foreign soil. But everyone deserve to have opinions so It’s your opinion and I respect that 👍

Murali the spinning GOAT! Greatest bowler / off spinner ever! Respect!
*bowler ever
That's cos sehwag never took himself seriously and he took off spinners even less seriously
I don't know whether I am biased but all I heard was Sehwag is a majestic player and handled Murali well, but come on, LARA was that DAMN GOOD. He literally carried his team against Lanka. LARA is a one of the GREATS.
On a separate not the comment section does not mention enough of LARA, but he is VERY VERY Good.
Murali is such a humble and gracious man. What a legend!!
In my entire life, I haven't seen a more entertaining and brave player than Sehwag!
❤
I m huge Sachin fan..that series which murli is speaking in 2001...this series made lara fan forever along with sachin
Love the way murali says lesser bowlers/ lesser off spinners casually. So pure at heart when he says that.
Love Murali❤️❤️.. what a player and such a humble person. Always loved when he came out to bat. Made me laugh all the time. 😀
but chucker
He is very down to earth god bless him
Murali is deep! Perhaps no one has reached that depth in spin bowling! Always an experience to watch him or listen to him. Good one Akash!
Good to see the #legend after long tym. 🙏🏼 Respect from heart.
Yupp Brian freaking Lara scored 660+ runs in 3 match series and still windies were whitewashed 3-0!! He was so unlucky his career coincided with decline of windies
688 to be precise.
You didn't have to take Sehwag's wicket, he will give it to you eventually, if it's in the first over or after 300 runs solely depends on your luck!
Lol agree
Sehwag did on sporting pitches find it hard against the pace, but he always treated spinners with disdain in any conditions regardless of reputation. He was the destroyer of the spin bowlers.
@@milindmatang 195 at MCG ,so MCG is a sporting pitch 🤔🤔
@@adamsher4950 one swallow does not make a summer. Australia scored 500 in reply and India comprehensively lost the match against the weakest Australian bowling attack in history.
@@milindmatang there was a higher probability of loosing wicket in the first ball itself, with Sehwag opening the batting, and it was a gamble! But if you consider the quality of other openers, we didn't have much options. Anyway you will loose openers soon, if Sehwag just could stay around atleast you have a chance of getting some runs!
Very cool conversation. Champion vs champion indeed! Incredible how down to earth he sounds.
Lara was the best against spinners be it Warne, Murali, or Mcgill. Tendulkar fared better against pace. Viru didn't give a fuck whether it was pace or spin or if he was the best or second best. He simply whipped everyone.
Lara has a better record against Australia

Murali don't need to fear sachin tendulkar. Because Most probably he got out for chaminda vass in fisrt 6 7 overs. I think over 10 times sachin got out for chaminda vass and he given 3 catches in an over against chaminda vass.
And yet Managed test batting Avg above 60 vs SL in such a long career..

@@dipak1201 Tendulkar is a great batsman. What i told is "He has got out for chaminda vass for over 10 times". I don't tell, he is not good batsman or he weak against sri lanka. Actually You don't need to prove that he is great batsman. because i knew it and i didn't argue it.
I'm a Sachin fan but it's right that he had an issue with the incoming ball like most batsmen. He had issues against Vaas, Saqlain Mushtaq and to a lesser extent Shoaib Akhtar. Most he was uncomfortable against McGrath and statistically Anderson. But he was largely great against most others.
Our current openers are just trying protect the wicket. They are scared of getting out and they don’t put any pressure on the bowler. Sehwag is a once in a lifetime player
The middle order back then is something next level! If u have dravid Sachin vvs LAXMAN dhoni in ur test Batting lineup then any Batsman won't be feared much but yea too defensive approach is also not correct
@@Dietpanda Sehwag played that way all throughout his career
Qg
Sehwag averaged in the 20s in England, South Africa and New Zealand. Luckily India had a great middle order at the time. Otherwise he would have had to face a lot more criticism than he did. The current openers don't have that luxury.
@@youtubeabcds7467 well the current players have got many other luxuries, let’s call spade a spade. Sehwag was a different bread it didn’t matter whether sachin or Dravid was there in the middle order if he wanted to hit he will
Sachin scored many centuries and fifties against Murali in both formats and before 2004 he was more awesome. Sachin's 138 in 1996 WC and 143 in test in SL in 1997 against Murali and Vaas were my favourite inngs. Later for Ind, Sehwag scored 2- 3 double hundreds against Murali which was standout performance in the Indian team almost Viv Richards like batting...
A great interview and insight from the best off spinner and greatest wicket tacker ever. A great insight into just how devastating Sehwag was and the greatness of Lara as a batsman.
A legend of the game in conversation with another legend that was made after he left the game!!!
People talk about West Indies in the 80s and Australia in the 2000s but the real goat was the Sri Lankan team near the 2000s , it hadDe Silva,Ranatunga,Jayasuriya,

One of the greatest spinner ..... Murali is very humble and decent person ...we Indian loved and appreciated you
Nice to hear from murali...also he's lost oodles of weight...looks in great shape👍
I have no words.....not one of the greatest, the greatest spinner to play in the history of cricket is so soft spoken and replying like he is just another bowler....
Great bowler and great human. All the respect he deserve 🙏🙏🌹
A great player and a better person.
In Asia, India has been always blessed with great batsmen.
Pakistan: Great Bowlers
Srilanka: They covered every department till 2015
After that, the team has degraded.
Hope their cricket will rise again.
Bcoz as an Indian, we miss that old Pakistan and Srilankan squad which were too deadly for any team.
Sri Lanka every department? Seriously. They never had a proper bowling attack. Vaas and Murali were carrying their bowling attack. After they retired in 2009 and 2011 (Murali retired from Tests in 2010) respectively, it was Herath in the Test format and Malinga in ODIs and T20s. India on the other hand, had a better bowling attack. Zaheer Khan, Kumble, Harbhajan, Ashwin, Ishant, Ajit Agarkar. ( I didn't include Bumrah, Shami, Umesh, Bhuvi as you said only till 2015)
@@raphaelzeon4422 between 2000 - 2015
1)If you need a destructive opener who destroyed bowlers always sanath jayasuriya is there with 13k odi runs and dilshan with 10k odi runs
2)If you need a batsman who build up the innings after 1st wicket down and played till 10th wicket you have kumar sangakarra with 11 double centuries and 57 test average and 28000 international runs.(there is no need to talk about his skill in wicket keeping)
3.If you need a batsman who play the game with master mind to steady the batting line up
strong,you have mahela jayawardene with 25000 international runs ( currently the head coach of most successful ipl team mumbai indians )
4)If you play in a chasing match chase the target and finish the game with very confidence you have aravinda de sliva one of the best finishers in the world who scored a brilliant century in 1996 world cup final against mighty australia .its only one example .
5)If you want a captain who maintains good relation between team members and get maximum contribution from them to win the matches .
6) If you want a bowler ,chaminda vaas( 700+international wickets ) is there to cripple the batsmans in the first overs and reducing there run rate.
7)lasith malinga is there to terrorize the batsman in the final overs at crucial times and make the batsman helpless with his yorker throughout the match.
8)It is difficult to say with a comment .In short, you have Muttiah Muralitharan (1347 wickets ),the best bowler in the world who can be used at any time of the match.
Murali is a humble genuine simple guy ❤❤
For veeru spinners are not bowlers at all. Reference R.Ashwin.
"Off-spinners"
I believe that was specifically about off spin
Off spinners except murli
Brilliant interview.
LARA genius at work😍😍😍
sehwag is on another level from the rest
Tendulkar has overall batting avg of 60 vs SL whereas Muralidharan has bowling avg of 32 vs India...India players handled Muralidharan very well...
Not sure what population has to do with skill. There is nothing to indicate that cricket skill is distributed evenly among all population.
@Niyomal Dias competition doesn't determine skill. Sure it can help in development but natural talent, facilities, opportunities, money is what matters. New Zealand with a tiny pool of cricketers is the best team currently.
@Niyomal Dias then what it has to do with Muralidharan being handled well by Indian players....why does this line make you think about entire SL team...SL team was no doubt very good at that time...why are doubting it yourself when no one said anything about your team...
@Niyomal Dias what do you mean to say by that....say clearly...being best among greater mass is harder thing...
@Niyomal Dias now what happened to these 20 million people ...even an state team of india can whitewash your team 🤣🤣🤣
Lara got hold of Murali the most! 🔥🏏
Murali looks healthy and well. Good for him 💪🏾❤
Vaas was a good bowler; amazing stamina in tough conditions.
Such a nice gentleman Murali. Love you. You are a legend. Everyone was scared of your bowling. On a good day they could bat against you. that's all. If you ask the batsmen they will say that
Luv this show❤️👍🏼🔥
No doubt Lara and Sehwag are from different batsmen. Lara was most entertaining batsmen to watch
Lara was a different breed!
Is and makes points like a legend.
Shewag was nightmare to Muruli that time
Exceptional conversation.
Well done Akash Chopra.
Shewag is a special rare player. No Indian batsman ever can replace him. I still remember I didn't like viru to be out even though I'm a Sri Lankan. Because after he got out, the game becomes definitely boring to watch.
Sir Sobers.
What a perception to bat against a Slow Bowler irrespective of being able to read the bowlers hand..
Come to the pitch of the ball, hit him with the full face of the bat with full conviction, either timing it for a shot along the ground or over the top, placement should be in mind too.
Remember the game Sehwag scored 201* in a score of 329 vs against SL attack of Mendis, Muttiah, Kulasekkara and Vaas in 2008
My dearest favorate joining thanks Aakash , my dearest sehwag
living legend! what a bowler !!
Murali got Tendulkar out so many times..so did Chaminda Vaas..
He is afterall human and a batsman who is not always not out, even abdul razzak and malinga have good record against him
Think Pollock and McGrath have good record against him as well. Anyway all great bowlers
India plays a lot of cricket with srilanka during those time
Even zaheer gets sangkara the most
Ashwin vs sangakara
Harbhajan vs dilshan
Zaheer was the only reason sangakara never got a test 100 in India
These these are bound to happen if they play each other often and knows their opponent games
His average vs murli is 50
@@rjari8578 he had one
Superb video team ESPN
Oh the days when superpowers used to collide on field...Murli vs others..respect!!!
awesome .. legend is murali
Murali was correct sachin didn't like off spinners but didn't got out many times. He even smashed saqlain at his best. Lara didn't have great record against kumble also never troubled Warne. I think it's easy to hit when ball turning away from you as you can free your arms but when it comes in its not easy to hit as if you miss you lose the stumps.
True only after sehwag joined Indian team, India could think of winning test team
Legend
I am fan of Murali. He creates terror in batsmans minds.
I belive indian cricket team changed with the intro of sehwag . He set the rhythm for indian team to win test and odis. He counter attacked and set the bowling line to backfoot which inturn gave the order behind him time and confidence.
spot on, sachin actually had some minor troubles with off spinners especially with some extra bounce, but still the most complete bastman
Off spin is easy to bowl but it is very dificult to play because most of the off spin balls will turn quite but it more depend on surface if surface is odd batsman trouble to judge the line, any great batsman can got out
Murali was the deadliest bowler of his time!!
pretty honest guy...sachin had trouble against ajmal too during the end of his career
Legand ❤️
Muthiah a tiger - So much had gone through him in his personal life, I feel sorry for him as a tamilian. God bless his soul
But don’t worry, we Sinhalese protected him very well on and off the pitch, especially his team mates.
Lara played a blinder in srilanka against u in srilanka
I'm huge fan of Murlidharan. 🙏🙏🙏
Shewag & Lara never changed their natural game.. They played on their terms irrespective of the game situation..
Sachin natural game was aggressive & in the initial years he played his natural game.. Later on he changed his game & became more compact player.. If Sachin played naturally he would have scored less but won more Games for India..
Sehwag - I don't have skill and time to read dusra and stuffs so to survive I have to go after the bowler from the ball one.😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️
No
He never such stupid statement
murali and warne averaged 44+ in india ...they took all their wickets against weaker spin playing teams like england, south africa etc...
No it was just that India were blessed to have GOATs like Sehwag Dravid Tendulkar Laxman who were amongst the best players of spin ever . Even Warne said in 2019 , that his record was not as good against India , due to these players and he would destroy the current (2019 Indian batting line up ) who are struggling against even part time spinners
Murli was a chucker and he knew it
Brian Lara scored688 runs inthat series the team Wl got a dholl wash but Lara deservedly man of the series. Two all time greats Lara and Murali respect to both .
Didn't even notice time - Very interesting & suddenly video got over
viru is the most destructive opening batsmen of all time..watching him playing was just a treat
Murali the best srilankan bowler.
Aravind desilva the best batsman.
Love from India. A core kapil , sachin and kumble fan from Bangalore.
Whenever I watched Sachin bat , he is the legend but didn’t realize he has had weakness against spin
He had slight weakness against murli and medium pace. But like Murli said, he smashed leg spin.
CORRECTION: He did not have weakness against off spin. I don't know why murli said that
The Legend Says off spinners could trouble the GOD.
Tendulkar did not have weakness.
Its murali who is confused. Murali got tendulkar out every 2.4 matches as per cricinfo.
And lara every 1.6 matches. That is the weak tendulkar was tough for murali to get out.
@@parthsavyasachi9348 That might be the stats but certain things stand out. Lara had that awesome 600 run in 3 tests vs murli, which is unbelievable. I remember sachin getting out a few times to murli sweeping, playing leg glance etc. He was never fully comfortable. Even in 2010, in murli last match tendulkar scored 80 odd and in the 2nd test when murli was gone he made a 200.
@@BinaryRex18 just know that tendulkar and bradman are only two batsman to average 40 or plus in any country they batted in.
If tendulkar had weakness it was not possible. Mighty lara could not achieve this feat.
As far as murali goes murali certainly got tendulkar out but not as frequently as he got lara.
So lara may be better player of spin the numbers don't really support all this.
Tendulkar had no weakness. what tendulkar had was pressure of keeping his wicket. That might have showed some times.
I think Murali has forgotten the treatment from 1996 world cup.
Now I understood what a genius brian lara was really missing that era
Best thing about Carl huper is ...he will score single what ever the Ball u through him...
13:40 Sachin's brother also mentioned about off spin is weakness of sachin
Today's cricketers and fans... Listen to every word by him with your ears open. Murali is one of the constitutions.
