Legendary Sri Lankan batsman Kumar Sangakkara has been still in best form even after retiring from international cricket in 2015. In spite of retiring from international cricket, the 38-year-old wicket-keeper batsman has not lost any of his elegance, his eye reflection, footwork, and fitness will amaze you.
He is an orthodox batsman and has been equally effective when it comes to unorthodox one. Sangakkara, after calling it a day from international cricket, has ben seen playing for English County and other franchise T20 league around the globe. He is now serving English county side Surrey in the Natwest T20 Blast.
The former captain of the national side game many the sign that his shot making capability was still intact and his defence impeccable like before.
When his county Surrey faced Hamshire in a domestic T20 encounter he smashed 72 off 35 balls. His batting was as sublime as before. In his free following completion, Sangakkara played a “scoop”.
This made Surrey cricket’s official Twitter handle to tweet about the incident as they posted a video of the stroke and wrote, “Behave yourself @KumarSanga2”
The great is not known for his trick shots his copybook cricket is a treat for spectators. He is a prolific striker of the ball .
Surrey finally won the match by 80 odd runs. Apart from the blitz from the left-handed batsman, Dominic Sibley gave Sangakkara a good company with a 67 off 49 balls innings. Surrey scored 188 before Ravi Rampul and Dwyane Bravo led bowling attack blasted out the Hamshire batting for a paltry 108 in 16.3 overs. The overseas players in the form of Darren Sammy and Sean Ervine and little or no impact on proceedings.
