Leeds: Fans at the Fred Trueman Stand were in for a huge surprise during the India v Sri Lanka game here on Saturday when they discovered Sri Lankan greats Sanath Jayasuriya and Aravinda de Silva seated next to them.
Jayasuriya, 50, and De Silva, 53, key members of Sri Lanka's 1996 World Cup-winning team, wanted to watch the game as ordinary spectators. They tried hard to catch up on the action even as fans often disturbed them for selfies and autographs.
