“Tomorrow he might hold both the records in Tests and one-dayers, and that’s an amazing effort for someone who started as a fast bowler and then turned into an off-spinner. Now he challenges me to put him up in the order after his heroics with the bat — that’s Murali for you. We will be very happy once he gets the record. It’ll be another milestone for him and another one for Sri Lankan cricket,” he said.
Murali declined to speak about the impending milestone. He’d rather let the ball do the talking for now.
