In my opinion 64 runs in 96 semifial and his iconic six against bret lee at the verge of retirement is more than enough to recognized him as one of the greatest batsman in cricket history!!!
He was a big match player. Under pressure he delivered. A hundred , three wickets and two catches in a world cup final. No one has ever done it to date. The Most Valuable Player among all the world cup man of the match winners to date.
Yeah he was the main reason. Not only with the bat but also with the ball. But u can't say single handedly. Coz Gurusinghe's 50 and Arjuna's Captain's knock helped him to build the inning too. So that's a collective team performance around Aravinda
@@Lordsecond6969that's the case with most great knocks. There were batsmen at the other end who compliment. A case in point, Glen Maxwell's innings against Afghanistan in the recently concluded ODI WC. Though not as significant in numbers as Gurusinghe's, yet Cummins innings was cruscial. But on that day Aravinda did it with bat, ball and fielding.
Aravinda de Silva the great batsman who the best bowlers in the opposition fear. He used to come ball one and transfer the pressure back on the bowlers. All clean cricketing shots all around the ground and some of the best counter-attacking and match winning innings you will ever see. Truly a big match player and a deserved hall of famer!!
He is a gifted player like Viv Richards .Even great Tendulkar Or Kohli are not as good as Aravinda against the short pitched balls He is the Shadow of Viv .
Fearless batsman....a match winner....selfless cricketer....always played for team & country....great alrounder....love from India... Karnataka state.... congrats from my TH-cam channel name 'Umesha Nomad' ❤❤
What happened to us in the cricket world pull up our socks and fight for the country and jersey we can do it as a team viva srilanka from proud supporter south africa
UNDERLINE THE WORD “ HE WAS A BIG MATCH PLAYER” AND ALWAYS SCORES RUNS AT THE FINALS !! BEST PLAYER DURING THOSE DAYS !! Only stupids will compare his numbers with sachin .. Sachin was never big match player .. ARAVINDA WAS NOT SELFISH PLAYER EITHER !! THATS WHY PEOPLE RATE HIGHER THAN SACHIN !! also don’t compare his stats with modern players .. as we know how hard was it score back then .. average over 30 is considered very good

True indeed.
Respect and salaam from islamabad Pakistan
Aravinda gem of Cricket. I am lucky that I met him at Skydome in Toronto.
In my opinion probably Sri Lanka's first great batsmen ruined us Aussies in that final in 95/96 I think single handedly won that game for them

This genius was man of match of 1996 world cup final century and wickets with ball
අරවින්ද මගෙ legend
In my opinion,Martin Crowe and Aravinda de Silva are the best pull shot players' ever...
Arvinda desilva, Martin crow , Sachin tendulkar
The best Sri Lankan 🇱🇰 batsman ever produced to the world is Aravinda ❤
තමන්ට වැඩිය රට ඉදිරියෙන් තියන්,, රටෙ ගෞරවය ලොව ඉදිරියේ තැබු විශිෂ්ටයන් අතර විශිෂ්ටතමයා....... අරවින්දයක්ම වු.... අරවින්ද ද සිල්වා.. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

undisputedly the greatest batsman who played for sri lankan in a time of infancy to bring sri lankan cricket to its top
Fearless batsman....a match winner....selfless cricketer....always played for team & country....great alrounder....love from India... Karnataka state.... congrats from my TH-cam channel name 'Umesha Nomad' ❤❤
Hes a hero for us South Indians too. He was loved by Malayalis & Tamilians because in a lot of ways he was more relatable to us than Tendulkar.
Thank you for your comment...
Sri Lanka now needs someone like him more than ever
My all time favourite batsmen bowler n fielder
No doubt he is the greatest....❤

If he is not runout in semifinal of 2003 world cup he will destroyed McGrath and brettlee

Sangakkara is the best batsman from SL, Aravinda was the 4th best batter from SL, Mahela and Chamari Atapattu being 2nd & 3rd best.
Sangakara maybe better than Arvinda but mahela and atapattu..NO..he may be joint second with jayasurya.
BIG MATCH PLAYER BETTER THAN SACHIN !! NOT A MINNOW BASHER
