Pick the best of the two- Sehwag or Jayasuriya?

Question

Sehwag the greatest openers for IND has performed really well with many good Scores. On the other hand J'suriya another explosive batsman has won many matches for SL single handedly. So who is better of the two?

Answer 1

both the players have the same strategy according to me- "hit the ball if u see it"!

..but when we compare sehwag n jayasuriya,

its not just enough if we look at the runs they score, but also in terms of who occupies the creasefor a longer time without giving a wicket!

So, when we look at this , jayasuriya is definitely more consistent than sehwag who is an explosive batsam but gets out quickly.  

Answer 2

Sehwag.

Answer 3

Sanath Jayasuriya is a great opening batsman. he has been an all-rounder for sri lanka both known for his great batting abilities and his knack of taking wickets with his orthodox leg spinners.

He opens the batting usually with the crease occupier Marvan Atapattu who is keen to keep his wicket throughout the innings to stabilize scoring while he usually puts Sri Lanka to a fast start in most of Sri lanka's matches in the past especially when they upset Australia in the 1996 world cup. he is the only Sri Lankan to score more than 10000 runs in his one day career and 1 of five cricketers to achieve the feat.

He is devastating in one dayers but his aggresive style of play have not served him well in tests. however, he still owns a 340 best score in tests and has the fastest century in tests.he also owns the fastest 50 (off 16 balls) in the one dayers and the fastest hundred in tests(off 48 balls).oftentimes, his batting prove to be the barometer if Sri lanka is going to lose the match or not.nevertheless, his aggresive strokes are a great entertainment for us.

He's a fun and class-act to watch :)

hope this helps!

Answer 4

difficult one... my pick is Sehwag

Answer 5

Jayasuriya

Answer 6

I admire with Sanath! He entered into Team as a Bowler; not as a batsman.

Sehwag is playing well because he knows his position is not permanent. [Refer his performance before two years].

I admit Sehwag is good at batting but I vote for Sanath.

Answer 7

Sehwag is only the best

Answer 8

SANATH JAYASOORIYA

his record of 12000 runs & 300 wickects no one will catch that.

Answer 9

One and only Sanath Jayasuriya- master blaster

Answer 10

SEHWAG......................

Answer 11

Sehwag, he has made 100s in Australia and South Africa, whereas Jayasuriya normally makes a duck outside the sub continent!

hope it helps!

Answer 14

i think jayasurya is better than sehwag when we compare them.

jayasurya is superb cricketer... and also likes kakka...

Answer 15

I think its a pretty hard question but the answer to this question Jayasuriya cause he have both brain and power. That makes him one of the best. If you are looking for brain, you can't find it in Sehwag but if you are looking for talent, you can find it right in Sehwag.

Answer 18

Jayasurya

Answer 19

Jayasuriya is better as an all-rounder as he can bat and spin well, but Sehwag is a better batsman, although jayasuriya is a better bowler, so you cant really compare the two.
