#2. Kumar Sangakkara-14234 runs

England v Sri Lanka - 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup
Sangakkara was phenomenal during his final phase

One of the most stylish and elegant left-hand batsmen of all times, Kumar Sangakkara was Sri Lanka's batting pillar for more than one decade.

His drives were supreme while his leg-side play was effective as well. Having grown up in Sri Lanka helped him in playing spin with ease, but he was impressive against the pacers as well. The fact that he averages more than 40 in all Test playing nations except South Africa (31.40) and West Indies (33.52) signifies his batting prowess.

Although he was consistent throughout his career, his batting reached its peak after 2010 and from 2011 to 2014, he scored more than thousand runs every year. During the 2015 world cup, he slammed four hundreds in as many innings and made a world record. Also, 14 of his 25 hundreds came during his last four years.
