Kumar Sangakkara, Sri Lanka’s most Stirring ambassador, was a gift to our game

Sangakkara may not have become the Lawyer he wanted to, but he came as Close as anyone Could on a Cricket ground!

Kumar Sangakkara may not have become the lawyer he wanted to, but he came as close as anyone could on a cricket ground!

Come to think of it, he was quiet a lawyer off it too.If he wasn’t such a good batsman, it might have been his best innings for it was full of passion.Sangakkara spoke for Sri Lanka as he did for cricket that day.There was elegance, yes, but there was a fierce determination that those steely eyes announced.

For while Sangakkara was indeed Sri Lankan, he was much more. He was a gift to our game.
