Sanath Jayasuriya was quoted as saying by PTI, "It's very difficult. It's not very easy. It's a different kind of talent to work hard and play for your country. It's a combination of talent and hard work. Every cricketer has their own talent, but they also need to work hard in practice, maintain discipline, and stay committed to their training.”
'Indian players work hard'
He added, “In India, the competition is extremely high, with several players always waiting for an opportunity. If a player does not perform, someone else can take their place. That is why the players work very hard, train seriously, and try to perform at their best. This is how it should be.”
Despite the pressure and workload, Jayasuriya believes that the Indian players remain highly motivated because of their passion for representing the country. He feels this combination of talent, hard work, discipline, and competition has helped India produce players capable of performing at the highest level across the formats, just like the dominant Australians.
