As legendary Kumar Sangakkara played his last innings for Surrey in County Championship, English Cricket hailed the great man. In one of the batting display in history of the county Cricket, Sangakkara smashed 8 hundreds in a single season, with an average of more than 100.
“What a summer, what a player.
One of the greatest to ever grace the game I most love.
Thank you @KumarSanga2” wrote British Journalist Piers Morgan on his twitter handle.
“Special win, incredible to learn from @KumarSanga2 these last few years, words can’t describe how much of a legend of a man he is #theking” wrote Sam Curran, Surrey teammate of Sanga.
“End for Sanga at The Oval. Madly, out before scoring winning runs. Maybe this way is better: every fielder shakes his hand,standing ovation” wrote Tim.
“A legend of the game leaves the Kia Oval outfield for the final time…
Thank you @KumarSanga2 👏” posted Surrey Cricket on its official Twitter handle with a video.
