18 years ago, one name made headlines across the country, that name changed the way common man commuted forever,five years from its debut, it had became a huge hit wherever it went by 1992..... the name as we all know is Maruti 800. The same year, a guy at the age of 20, made debut for his country,not India, but Sri Lanka in test cricket..... Now,18 years later,as he leaves the field after completing a successfull and unparallelled career, another word makes headlines.... not Maruti 800, but its Mount 800 or Murali's 800.... a record that will probably last forever it record book, untouched.... Muttiah Muralitharan retires from international cricket,with a tally of 800 test wickets...nobody would've ever ended a career in any sport the way murali did....a perfect finish.... he'll always be remembered as one of finest spinners of all time...the way he spins the ball on virtually any surface, is a treat for the onlookers, but a nightmare for the batsmen facing him... there would not be a question of who'll step into his shoes, because no one can ever fill the void he left,only murali matches murali.... thank you, murali, for all the beautiful moments you left in our minds, keeping your love for the game intact,despite facing several challenges throughout the career and producing such masterful performances..... may you have a happy life post retirement.... the good news is that he'll be seen in action in IPL in the coming years.... lets look forward to that.....
