Yes, the man standing behind Sanga (Adam Gilchrist) is pioneer of wicketkeeping but the real champion I think is Sangkkara. 12400 runs in 134 test matches 14000+ runs in nearly 400 ODI followed by 700+ dismissals and his captaincy... Oh my god! One thing left, his sportsmanship... How many of you remember his smiling face and beautiful speech after losing WC 2011 against India... Legend!!! 🙌🏻 Love from India 🇮🇳

I don't know why people don't recognize him when it comes to the list of greatest cricketers of all time . In tests people talk about lara, dravid, tendulkar , ponting but they forget to say his name. He was also a cricketer of that era, of bowlers like McGrath, bond, akhtar, brett lee, warne, akram, and so on. Still he has an average of more than 57 in 134 tests. More than 28000 runs in international cricket followed by 700 dismissals. Oh please he was a champion of that era. Probably one of the most classic and Orthodox left handed batsman with a fantastic wicket keeper, what a champion player sanga was💕💕💕. Love from india

If not for Rudi’s woeful decision, sanga would have definitely stacked up a double ton and who knows, maybe more. Sri lanka were chasing a mammoth score, but yet sanga was still solid in the middle. We had more than an outside chance not only to win our first test on Aussie soil, but also to cap it with the greatest chase of all time. 😞

One of the best inning's player by a batsman in a fourth inning in Australia. He would have scored a lot more if the umpire's decision wasnt wrong.

This will always rank as one of the greatest knocks I've ever seen, unbelievably crisp strokeplay

He made everything look so effortless

What an entertainment and treat to watch. He was toying with Aussie bowlers. He is a legend for a reason. He scored 4 hundreds in world cup 2015. He is a real ambassador of this beautiful game

Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene. Two class players. It was like watching poetry in motion. Lot of respect from India.

Indian guys need to stop taking this stance less seriously it harming them in long run because they get pretty bad at back foot as they keep on playing thats it gets really hard for them to play short balls & wickets like England Australia south Africa . unlike foreign players who are best at backfoot .hardik pandya is backfoot player ' hes killing it.its not always necessary to develop a stance we should choose the one what is more comfortable (i.e steve Smith). plus if you're a good at back foot you're likely to play well against most of swing deliveries because you got time &can play close to the body unlike front foot where you have to commit forward
