Kumar Sangakkara

In 2009, when it was summer vacation from school, I was lucky enough to watch a live match on television for the first time at the age of nine

The Pakistan team was on a tour of Sri Lanka, and three tests, five ODIs, and a Twenty20 International match were to be played there

This was the series in which Umar Akmal made his debut, in which he scored a century in the fourth match…

I used to sit in front of the TV every morning and when I woke up in the evening, the two players I was most angry with were Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene…

When he started the day, he would come to bat, but by evening he would be standing.

Misbah was telling about Sangakkara in a show that I used to pray so much for him to get out because he himself used to stand at one end and play eleven overs for Saeed Ajmal…

As much as I hated Sanga in my childhood, as I grew up, I loved this player as much.

More than twenty-seven thousand runs in international cricket, thirty-eight test centuries, eleven double centuries are a clear proof of this player’s greatness, grit, and never-giving-up qualities…

I could not see much of Sangakkara’s career, but what I did see was a truly amazing batsman, a fantastic wicketkeeper, and a good captain like Sanga…

Let me talk about Sanga’s amazing innings that I saw live, including a magnificent run-chase century against India in the Asia Cup 2014 and a fifty in the Twenty20 World Cup final against India.

which gave Sri Lanka the opportunity to win its first and only Twenty20 World Cup so far… In his last ODI World Cup, Sanga also scored four centuries…

This noble and invaluable player of the cricket world has turned forty-eight today. Happy birthday Sangaji…

My favorite among the foreign players in the whole world… His cuts, pulls and drives still intoxicate the viewers… Jag Jag Jee Sir… Follow Cricket Talks for cricket updates…
