Cricket fans around the world, particularly Sri Lankans, are feeling sad as Kumar Sangakkara’s outstanding career is nearing its end. Lovers of this game wish to see this great sportsman continue for a couple of years more. We all wish to see this man achieve more records and please us with his great game. Last year, he emerged as the top scorer in both forms of the game. His performance during this year has so far been very impressive with an average of 84 in ODIs. Sangakkara is close to join the league of Sir. Donald Bradman in scoring double centuries in Test cricket.

Known for his obsession with fitness, he should serve as a role model for all the up and coming players.

We have never seen Sangakkara seeking a runner even in Test matches, where he had scored multiple double centuries. His behavior on and off the field has been exemplary. He believes that despite his high fitness level and terrific form, he should make way for new talent. We hope he changes his mind for the sake of his fans all across the globe.
