Today is spin magician Muralidharan's birthday. Happy 51st birthday to him.
The greatest (and perhaps controversial) bowler in history.
See things get muddled when they start being compared, we're not comparing Murali with anyone right now just looking at a few of his countless achievements!
Does he not deserve to be appreciated and remembered as much as Sachin Tendulkar is remembered? These records still stand and endure years after his retirement!
Remember how Sachin's last time was and Anderson's last time is also ahead. How these two legends lost their luster in the end, Murali took eight wickets while going to the other side.
