I had the luck of watching Sanga play on a number of occasions here in the UK and sat and listened to perhaps his most memorable moment, that being the Cowdrey Lecture of 2011. It was a truly emotional speech, delivered with a typically erudite style and at points, spoke real truth to power too. The whole speech is on KZfaq if you haven't seen it, and should be classed as a seminal moment in not just the history of Sri Lankan cricket but also in the lifespan of world cricket. ❤

Kumar Sangakkara is widely considered one of the best cricketers in the modern era. His accomplishments during his cricketing career are numerous, including: He is the second-highest run-scorer in the history of ODI cricket. Throughout his career, he scored 28 double centuries, which is the most by any player in test cricket. In 2012, he became the first player to post four successive centuries in ODIs. He is one of only two players to have won the coveted Wisden Cricketer of the Year award twice. Sangakkara captained the Sri Lankan cricket team from 2009 to 2011. Sangakkara is also known for his philanthropic work, both in Sri Lanka and globally. He has been actively involved in supporting causes such as education, healthcare, and poverty alleviation, among others. From the success of his cricketing career and his work as a humanitarian, one can learn the importance of hard work, dedication, and perseverance, and how success can be used to create positive change in society.
