Spin genius Muttiah Muralitharan brought down the curtains on his Test career in a blaze of glory by becoming the first cricketer to scalp 800 wickets as Sri Lanka beat India by ten wickets in the first Test at Galle on Thursday. The two teams will now travel to Colombo for the second Test which will begin on Monday. Claiming five Indian scalps in the first innings and three in the second, the spin genius bid an emotional farewell to the oldest format of the game. And now the man whom batsmen across the world fear and also respect will focus on the upcoming world cup and T20. Murali began his career against Australia in 1992 and took only 133 matches to achieve this great feat at an average of 22.72. He is the only player to take 50 or more wickets against every test playing nation and has maximum number of 10 wicket hauls. Even as the Sri Lankan spin wizard walks into sunset, cricket lovers across the globe will cherish his game for years to come and he will continue to be a source of inspiration for many.
