5 greatest wicketkeeper-batsmen of all time

#2 Kumar Sangakkara

One of the greatest sportspersons.

Sangakkara is regarded as one of the most polished and prudent of batsmen in cricket. He has scored 28016 international runs in a career spanning over 15 years. He is currently second in the list of leading run scorers in ODI Cricket. He has scored 63 international centuries which is the third most. He was the ICC Cricketer of the year in the year 2012.

Apart from his prowess with the bat, Sangakkara was one of the greatest when it comes to behind the stumps. Though he was not a regular keeper for Srilanka and played primarily as a batsman in Test cricket, he was simply the best when it comes to the shorter format. He has affected over 500 dismissals in ODI's alone and has the record of most number of dismissals (54) in the World Cups.
