MUMBAI: Indian batting legend Sachin Tendulkar and Sri Lanka’s spin bowling wizard Muttiah Muralitharan have been named the Greatest Of All Time (G.O.A.T) batsman and bowler respectively in Tests of the 21st century.
The picks were made by a 50-member jury put together by Star Sports, India’s leading sports broadcaster, ahead of the ICC World Test Championship final.
While Tendulkar left behind the likes of Jacques Kallis, Steve Smith and Ricky Ponting, Muralitharan was pipped legends Shane Warne, Dale Steyn and Glenn McGrath.
