Recognition
In 2002,
Wisden carried out a statistical analysis of all Test matches in an effort to rate the greatest cricketers in history, and Muralitharan was ranked as the best Test bowler of all time.
[3] However, two years earlier, Muralitharan was not named as one of the five
Wisden Cricketers of the Century. Former Australian captain
Steve Waugh called him "the
Don Bradman of bowling".
[121]
Muralitharan was selected as the
Wisden Leading Cricketer in the World in 2000 and in 2006.
[122]
On 15 November 2007, the Warne-Muralidaran Trophy was unveiled named after the two leading wicket-takers in Test cricket, Shane Warne and Muralitharan. The trophy displays images of the two spin bowlers' hands each holding a cricket ball. This trophy will be contested between Australia and Sri Lanka in all future Test series.
[123]
On 3 December 2007, just hours after Muttiah Muralitharan became Test cricket's leading Test wicket-taker,
Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) announced it had unveiled a portrait of the Sri Lanka off-spinner at
Lord's.
[124] On the same day the Philatelic Bureau of the Department of Posts in Sri Lanka issued a circular stamp with a denomination of Rs. 5 to mark the world record set by Muttiah Muralitharan. The circular design was meant to denote the cricket ball.
[125]
Australian musician Alston Koch provoked worldwide interest when he recorded the only official tribute song to Muralitharan, the song was even mentioned on the BBC's Test Match Special.
[126][127] The Muralitharan Song video was also released after he broke the world record.
On 10 January 2008, the
Parliament of Sri Lanka felicitated Muttiah Muralitharan for his world record breaking feat of being the highest wicket taker in Test cricket.
[128] This is the first time that a sportsman has been honoured in the country's Supreme Legislature.
