In terms of Test wicket, Anil Kumble with 619 scalps is just behind Warne (708) and Muralitharan (800) in the international list of highest wicket-taker.
Jayawardene also spoke about Muttiah Muralitharan stating that the spinning legend was a difficult bowler "to convince to do something he didn't want to".
Despite his limitations such as not being a huge turner of the ball, Kumble remains one of the most successful bowlers of all time.
The stylish left-handed cricketer failed to establish himself as a Test cricketer.
Muttiah Muralitharan was still eight wickets shy of the landmark before his last Test which was the opener of the three-match series against India.
Murali is still the leading wicket-taker in both the Tests and ODIs. In the longest format of the game, the spinner has claimed 800 wickets in 133 matches, while in the 350 ODIs, he has scalped 534 wickets.
In the Road Safety World Series Sachin Tendulkar and Muttiah Muralitharan are playing for the India Legends and Sri Lanka Legends, respectively.
Even the International Cricket Council (ICC) could not help but take a dig at the US President for mispronouncing Sachin Tendulkar's name.
Anderson returned with excellent figures of 5 wickets for 40 runs on Day 3 of the second Test match that England is playing against South Africa.
