Kumar Sangakkara is probably the greatest left-handed wicketkeeper/batsman of all time. It would be wonderful if Nicholas Pooran could emulate his achievements and benefit from a structured mentorship programme administered by him.

I always like to hear his speech.nice to watch.

The only left handed Cricketer i admire. Amazing on and off the field.

Sir SANGA 😍😍😍😍

Love u sangga from Pakistan

biggest legends of all time

You have done your cricketing part for the school, the club, the country..... now is the opportune time....to step in and make Sri Lanka a bit civilized! We respect your freedom and privacy but give it a try. People may laugh at first as you said, some may even ridicule you & even accuse you.... but at !east show the Srilankans where we have gone wrong from the point of view of a proven legend,, from the point of view of an honest, integral personality...just give your view and step down without taking sides, without favoritism.... I know it may not change the world but it would have a remarkable impact on the followers, listeners who value direction and encouragement in life! Yes, Kumar use the God given talent to make their misguided lives a little better with a second, third.... hundredth chance! Your effort in God's hands will be definitely multiplied to bring in the optimum desired result where no corrupt or dishonest person can stop! With due respect for Yehali & kids, I leave you all with God's amazing blessings!- Rohan Silva

True Legend. 🙏

He is a candidate for the highest post in ICC.

Such a humble man❤️
