@@nitinb3758 exactly… not just Sri Lanka. There are very few cricketers globally who are as educated as Sanga. Hence you’ll see a more objective and holistic perspective from someone like him, Dravid, Athers, Nasser, etc.
@@Strange.Output0 I have heard of Mahesh but the education cannot be defined by your major or the degree certificate you have. I have met more educated people than doctors and engineers, who do not even have a degree....
This guy is class, articulate and thoughtful. An absolute legend of the game. I'm an Indian, a left hander, and I've followed Sangakkara's career throughout.
Sangakara sir.. Is a real gems of cricket... Really miss those old srilankan team..... 😭😭😭😭😭😥😭😭😥😭😭😥also muthaya sir dilshan sir all others.. Really miss them....
I love Cricket, but rarely does a cricketer as a person inspires me. The list is short but Sanga has definitely made it. Atherton and Nasser Hussain are also among the rare group. Another name that may be new for many is Pakistan's test opener Shaan Masood. He's also very articulate, humble and extremely well spoken. We should cherish these gems because they're so rare.
Wow the point about not seeing test cricket as a cash cow.... and the way forward is to market it differently.... try to build up create series/rivalries similar to the Ashes.... Sanga should be running the ICC 😀
Given that he is currently chairman of the MCC, it does look like he might see himself as a cricket administrator ICC President doesn't seem like something that couldn't happen.
Sangakkara is only player to have more then 25000 internationalruns within 21st century Not a better test player than Sangakkara had played or will play the game again
Sanga u r the greatest cricketer i have seen, not because of ur talent but beacuse of ur leadership. U stood with ur teammates rite til the end, u showed them wat the real meanings is to win a game of cricket. Its nothing else but to show ur true character. If u want to win a game in cricket, u need patience, u need skill, also passion and also luv for the game, i don't know y else u wud play the game of cricket. I luv the game. I dont know why but ts a great game and ppl like you have to make sure cricket reaches heights
from about 9:15 on. wow! so humble and self aware. I always think the best leaders are the reluctant ones, you dont want the 'power', but your colleagues/peers realise what you have to offer. When was this recorded?
Ian Chappell, Steve Waugh, Dravid, Sangakkara, Gilchrist, Lara, Meg Lanning, Sarah Taylor, Warne & Wasim Akram are the most knowledged individuals on mental/psychological side of cricket & life around it. Nasser, Atherton, Ian Bishop, Michael Holding, Ramiz, Harsha, Mark Taylor, Mel Jones, Isha, Sthalekar, Simon, Jarrod Kimber being other knowledged broadcasting individuals in cricket.
Sanga is just incredible, he personifies all that is good about Sri Lanka and is not just a credit to his country but to Cricket and international sports in general. 🤩
Do you know that schin tendulakar has scored only 4000 odi runs and test 3000 runs than kumara sangakkara sachin played whole 24 years(1989 to 2013) and retired at 40 and sanga played only 15 years (2000 t0 2015) and retired 37 I am not comparing Sachin with sanga but you have to be aware that how good sanga is as a batsman
Hey sky, for the upcoming windies tour I think u should play the title sequence that was used in 2015. The one with the players playing in the clouds. It was by far the best you have ever produced. I really think u should bring it back. Please
I fell in love with cricket watching the '96 SL team. Kaluwitharna and Jayasuriya were devastating. SL produced so many greats, but where are they now? Something is wrong with SL cricket 😧
Same. Sanga really loves explaining a lot of things. Short interviews are not the thing if someone wants to interview sanga. I wish mike would let him speak
Mahela : "We've all made fun of his accent. Especially when he goes overseas and speaks to people he gets that strong accent. When he's in Sri Lanka talking to us, it's not like that at all"
Talk about 2011 World Cup to Athaton😃😃😃 The legends lay little puppies!

he will for sure if big countries wouldn't interfere with their politics

This guy is seriously one of my favourites of all time. Excellent batsman and always very smart when he's interviewed. Definitely one of the greats.
Sanga knows so much about so much. One of the greatest. Nothing but admiration and respect for him.
and is humble enough to know when he doesn't know it all. a rare quality
So, this is a 5 year old interview. Still relevant to this day. Sanga is one of those - so eloquent off the field, so prudent on the field.
Fav!
My favorite left handed batsman 🔥💯🥰

Sanga u r the greatest cricketer i have seen, not because of ur talent but beacuse of ur leadership. U stood with ur teammates rite til the end, u showed them wat the real meanings is to win a game of cricket. Its nothing else but to show ur true character.
If u want to win a game in cricket, u need patience, u need skill, also passion and also luv for the game, i don't know y else u wud play the game of cricket.
I luv the game. I dont know why but ts a great game and ppl like you have to make sure cricket reaches heights
It is not often that the English or Australians regard a younger, Asian player as an equal. Sanga has achieved that status effortlessly
from about 9:15 on. wow! so humble and self aware. I always think the best leaders are the reluctant ones, you dont want the 'power', but your colleagues/peers realise what you have to offer. When was this recorded?
A puzzling combination of wit, talent and passion, that is Kumar Sangakkara

Russell Arnold.
Fantastic Cricketer, Gentleman, Ambassador and still very humble. Greatness personified !
such a mature human showed his class
I’m an Indian and very proud be, but kumar was just amazing a simply brilliant player.
My best player from 🇱🇰 love from 🇮🇳
Mike Atherton is my favrt. His voice and choice of words. Brilliant 👍
Ofcourse, Atherton is the RollsRoyce of cricket commentators. Silent Lion
Many people don't know that SANGA has bachelor degree in law.
What a true legend of the Cricket
he pretty much sums up social media and talking heads so well at the end
Sanga is just incredible, he personifies all that is good about Sri Lanka and is not just a credit to his country but to Cricket and international sports in general. 🤩
Not only Cover drive but also accent I like..🔥
Such a legend. One of mine and the games great cricketers
What a wonderful person ! Hats off to you Sanga
KUMAR SANGAKARA : Cricket's Socrates....genius
What a player
Very classy player...rarely find players like sanga anymore
I admire this man !
Do you know that schin tendulakar has scored only 4000 odi runs and test 3000 runs than kumara sangakkara
sachin played whole 24 years(1989 to 2013) and retired at 40 and sanga played only 15 years (2000 t0 2015) and retired 37
I am not comparing Sachin with sanga but you have to be aware that how good sanga is as a batsman
wish he goes on to run the ICC some day..

loved him when he played for deccan chargers
Legend of cricket 🏏 k sangakara no 1 wicket keeper🔥❣️💯
What a true legend of the game
great gentlemen. good to see u
Inspiration in its flesh itself!

Lol in the thumbnail it says sky sports f1
Wonderful, all respect sanga
Just a dam good bloke 👍👍🥃🥃
Surrey and Sri Lanka legend
🙏🏽Sangakkara 🇮🇳❤️🇱🇰
sanga ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Legend
The greatest
He's the Roy Keane of Sri Lanka
Sanga is a legend of international cricket. Love from Pakistan.
I don't understand the love for the interviewer. He interrupts too often, and some people need to be guided but Kumar isn't one of them.
Because the interviewer was Michael atherton one of the best english cricketers that’s y the love for the “interviewer”
@@jayaiyer2295 Doesn't mean he's a good interviewer.

9:17 must be talking about Boycott 😅
Can be a statesman if tries public life
good

Fake accent? He's been speaking like this since his debut! He studied law for godsakes, will have some have some oratorical skills!
Definitely. He is a very eloquent player and individual.

@@cricketcycle3951 Sure, tell that to Mahela if you see him as you know better.

Do you know? He had degree for law
I know
No He didn’t complete

Why does sky feel the need to bookend every video in this series with that annoying loud "I got the power" song?! Bit of a buzz kill tbh
he bats bats and bats........................................
You are a liar you n Mahela made lot of deals with Rajapakses
Sangakkara abandoned Sri lankan cricket..he and mahela left without creating new leaders captains etc...
Shame.all he wanted was his records
ඔයා කියන දෙයක් තමයි ඉතිං.
I am agreeing half away. But do you believe that he would achieve that potential with SLBC
