Kumara Sangakkara – Captain, Wicket Keeper, Batsman,
lecturer, Gentlemen & a Team man or we can say a best man. “Many Into One” A
Tough talking & a sharp thinking man from Sri Lanka , whose aggression is
calculated & intelligent. Cover Drive, lofted shots or straight drive take whatever you want this cricketer has the charm of Cricket which can bring an
audience to any ground. Not just on the talk but statistically also he is one of the great cricketer in today's cricket, more then
10,000 runs in both of Cricket. 31 Test Centuries with an average of over 56 is
enough to convey the Greatness of this man. Before he made a debut for Sri lanka at
age of 22 he was known as Wicket Keeper who can bat but, since his first
international match he showed that he is gem of a glance, a cricketer who gives
calmness to soul for cricket fans.A Natural puller,
he pulls balls with ease & the way he cut does describe the beauty of batting
in Cricket. Kumara Sangakkara is known as one of the "most polished and prudent
of batsmen" in cricket with ability to score all over the ground. He has
learn most of the cricket book shots through out the yaer & now he has excel himself in a category of a most mature cricketer ever produce in ASIA. yet somehow he has not lived up to the mark in
One day international Cricket, often throwing his wicket after a very promising
start. Only in his second International match he played match wining knock of
85 runs against South Africa .
hard work, determination and an impeccable work ethic made him ICC World’s
number one ranked Test batsman in June 2008. be it batting for 60 Overs to save test match
on 5th day & scoring 63 runs he was always there for his team
when needed. He is the youngest & the only current player, who has given lecture
2011 MCC Spirit of Cricket Cowdrey Lecture. He is
intelligent off the field as he is on it. That speech connects every cricketers
or lovers soul. With the, speech Sangakkara had become a rare example of a
sportsman who provided revelations on and off the field. Here is the best part of that lecture,
"Our cricket embodied everything in our lives, our laughter and tears, our hospitality, our generosity, our music, our food and drink. It was normality and hope and inspiration in a war-ravaged island. In it was our culture and heritage, enriched by our myriad ethnicities and religions. In it we were untouched, at least for a while, by petty politics and division. It is indeed a pity that life is not cricket. If it were, we would not have seen the festering wounds of an ignorant war." -- Kumar Sangakkara, 2011 MCC Spirit of Cricket Cowdrey lecture
As a Cricket fan I have enjoyed his batting a lot & for
me he is the most prolific player ever produced by Sri Lanka , I wish him best of luck.
A last line with which I would like to end this would be “As a batsman, Sanga Excelclass.”
