Kumar Sangakkara's Biography

Kumar Chokshanada Sangakkara (born 27 October 1977 at Matale) is a Sri Lankan cricketer and captain of the national team. He is a left-handed batsman and a wicket-keeper. He was educated at Trinity College, Kandy. He is also a law student in Sri Lanka Law College. Sangakkara began his career as a batsman but subsequently became a wicket-keeper. His batting has developed to such an extent that he once topped the LG ICC Test batting rankings. However, in 2006 he gave the gloves to Prasanna Jayawardene in Tests and has since played as a specialist batsman. He remains Sri Lanka's wicket-keeper in One-Day International and Twenty20 cricket. As at September 2009, he was ranked 1st on the Test batting rankings. He peaked at 6th on the ICC all-time Test batting rankings.
