29:25 This is the reason that Sri lankan cricket Fans are different & Unique from all other Asian cricket fans. They know how to deal with famous people in proper manner ❤💯
Is that why the cricket administrators treated Bandula Warpuna? Making him captain, match by match. Whereas, when Dulip Mendis came after that he was made captain fot all the matches against India? It is people like you who hardly know anything about cricket who give accolades to the undeserving.
One of the gentlemen of Cricket, a great Ambassador for Sri Lanka. Humble and down to earth as always, a great speaker as much as he's a great cricketer.
@@sahasdulmina4783 I think, he is so not. I hearing these blame first time. The whole nation accepting him for do anything. Because he achieved anything. So I think he no need to earn money with greedy. Sanga is Pride of Asia
Always a pleasure to listen to your interviews. Articulate and effortless. Bravo man ! You make us feel really proud to be Sri Lankans. Absolute gentleman. Loved watching him bat. Could now happily listen to him for hours ❤
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 RUclips 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. ❤
World Class Man*** Excellent English *** Do not force children to *** Become Doctors & Engineers only **** Allow them to do *** What they can do best****
Dude idk how i got into this video ...but i'm glad that i've come for it....there's always something different with you sanga even in your sporting days ...... I admire you very much ..... cheers for a healthy life...❤
What a wonderful way to see this dedicated, devoted, humble with sheer determined world class cricketer who proved greatness in the field and out of it is remarkable. His grand father and father both shown their legal carriers with noble manner which speaks volumes. As an Oxonian and former cricketer always embrace this lovely game that taught us so much lessons in order to mould our characters. Greatly appreciate Kumar and our Oxford Union. Best wishes from the Principal, Path & Co Consultancy Team ...
A world class sportsman and a profound thinker is a rare combination. He has so much more to contribute to his country and indeed the world. He should not allow his innate modesty to constrain or restrain him.
My all time favourite. The most eloquent cricketer, love the manner in which he articulate his response to every question thrown his way. True legend. Pride of Sri Lanka !!
"It was an incredible experience, his personality is truly captivating, and time seems to fly by when you're listening to him. He exudes a gentlemanly demeanor, and the eloquence with which he speaks keeps us enthralled, holding us in rapt attention. It's simply astonishing." I'm really proud as a Sri Lankan ..
What a wonderful set of responses by great Kumar to all the questions from the interviewer and also those from the audience. Absolutely spot on and inspiring Kumar and questions by those young students were also great. ❤💯💢👍👍👍
We fondly called him "Sanga", it's a lengthy discussion with touching many fields of interest. One thing is sure that he had the best parental guide, the best college to groom well and last he has the best siblings, friends and fans to love his performances in the field and off the field.
One of the best cricket stars I have seen in my life. He is not unlike Sir Donald Bradmond, who is a world-class talent. Long life to him and great pride to our country.
What he told about the Sri Lankan fans and how we felt about cricket is very true. He understands it very deeply. That makes me cry. We love you Sanga. Forever!
*I've never had the fortune to watch him playing live as I was very young but I must say that he was not just a great batsman but perhaps the best brain in the cricket fraternity! Sheer Intellectual depth* ❤
Once Kumar Sangakkara said that Cricket plays pivotal roll in social intergration and harmony in Srilanka YES & you play pivotal roll in srilankan cricket history.Love you what a icon for srilanka
Easily one the most under rated cricketers of the modern era. Perhaps also one of the most knowledgable and most articulate cricketers of the modern professional era.
Answer : Family background - Father and Grandfather were both brilliant well spoken men. Grandfather was a doctor and well known sports benefactor. Father a renowned lawyer. Kumar Sanga himself was a voracious reader and English lit student who studied at one of The best schools in the country which was administered at various times by British educationists. Kumar's OL results were 8 out of 8 A passes and 4 out of 4 A passes at his A Levels. He won the Ryde Gold medal awarded to the Best overall student at his school in his final year.
Absolute class this man. As a batsman he is for me SL’s greatest. Arguably Sri Lanka’s only true great given how good his record was outside Asia (at least overall).
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.

Kumar's philosophy is so helpful for everyone and for life in general.
You are evaluating😂😂
You mean his philosopy and values of making money at all cost, is it?
When did he get a knighthood? Or, were you a servant in his home to call him SIR?
@@n.w.goonewardena6147 He did his bit for his country,he can do whatever he want now.cry more
I had the honor of watching him play. I had the honor of listening to him speak at Oxford!
wow you are very lucky 😊
So what? You mean you had the honor of listening to him pretending to be an intellectual? He is, undeniably, THE GREAT PRETENDER!
Sanagakkara will never be replaced means not only by his talent but also his enormous personality and the way he maintains his gentlemanship ❤
Really? Is there a word calles GENTLEMANSHIP? Must be a new kind of ship?
Fools praising fools.
@@n.w.goonewardena6147 You think someone like you hating him gonna make him look bad?Go to sleep
What a ridiculously good speaker for a cricketer…thoroughly enjoyed this.

RIDICULOUSLY good speaker. You must be correct because RIDICULOUS more or less means ABSURD. Yes, he must be an absurd speaker who says the obvious.

Proud of you legend sangakkara ..🎉
His command of the English language is impressive, especially for a non-native speaker.
He is a native English speaker in SL
It's because of his school.
Wonderful character rather than cricketer. Actually he’s legend no doubt about that. Your experience like a motivation
Kumar sangakka 🥰🥰🥰
He used to be my favourite cricketer. A real gentleman. ❤️ Proud of you Sanga!

He wasn't late... He represented SL U 17/ 19 to Youth World Cup in Malaysia
I am glad you quoted that because i vaguely remember he was a rising star then! Kumar is modesty himself!
Great gentleman and proud of you as a Sri Lankan. God bless you 🙏 ❤

Im proud about him as a sri lankan
Thank you for telling to the world who we are and what we want now
One of my favorite batsmen. Amazing personality too.

OMG. The English, Accent took my breath away.🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔❤❤👍👍
this man is so much better to listen to than anyone in the Australian team. I could listen to Sanga all day. Most of the Aussies are simply garbage.
His English accents are all natural.
My question is how he build a such capability
Lol it's easy and his English isn't that amazing, it's just srilankan accent. And u just speak bad English
That’s problem I have, Astonishing… speaks like a native language ❤❤ such a inspiring personality … Much love ❤️
