#3 Kumar Sangakkara

Test Cricket

The left-hand batsman from Sri Lanka was extraordinary compared to other batsmen from the Sri Lankan soil. He scored in excess of 12000 runs in Tests matches at an average more than 57. His average is superior to anything legends like Brian Lara, Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting, and Jacques Kallis.

Once in his professional career, he could score a triple century. He did that very late in his vocation in 2014 against Bangladesh in Chittagong. He scored 319 from 482 balls and his innings included 32 fours and 8 sixes. He was the last wicket to fall. He was fortunate that Nuwan Pradeep held the opposite end and he could achieve the 300 run figure.

In 2004 in the second Test of the Sri Lanka voyage through Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka won the hurl and chose to handle first. Sri Lankan bowlers utilized the conditions extremely well and rocked the bowling alley out Zimbabwe for a somewhat 228.

In answer, Sri Lanka batted splendidly and it looked as though they batted on an alternate surface through and through. Commander Marvan Atapattu scored 249 and imparted a 438 run partnership to Kumar Sangakkara. After Atapattu’s takeoff, Sangakkara assembled another great association with Mahela Jayawardene. Sangakkara got out on the score of 270 from only 365 runs. His innings included 36 fours and 2 sixes. He was gotten behind off Panyangara. He missed a merited 300 in that match.

Cricket – Richest Cricketers In The World

In the principal Test of South Africa’s voyage through SriLanka, South Africa won the hurl and chose to bat first. With the exception of AB de Villeers, no other batsmen could score runs and South Africa was rejected on the score of 169 in the primary innings.

In answer, Sri Lanka lost Jayasuriya and Tharanga early yet what pursued was incredible. Sangakkara and Jayawardene manufacture an organization of 624 runs which turned into the most noteworthy association for any wicket, outperforming the Sri Lankan match of Jayasuriya and Roshan Mahanama’s partnership of 576 for the second wicket in 1997 against India.

Sangakkara was gotten behind off Hall on the score of 287 and he missed a merited triple hundred. Jayawardene went on a score one, and he got out on the score of 374 and missed breaking Lara’s record.

Twice Sangakkara verged on scoring a triple century and once he could do as such. On the off chance that he would have achieved the point of reference on the other two events also he could have been the principal player to score three triple a very long time in Test matches.
