#3 Kumar Sangakkara-Sri Lanka

Apart from being one of the finest batsmen, he is also considered to be one the best when we talk about wicketkeeping. In his career which spanned 15 years, he had 678 dismissals to his name which includes 539 catches and 139 stumpings.
He is considered to be the greatest cricketer to have played for Sri Lanka scoring over 26000 international runs for his team. Apart from being a great cricketer, he also possessed the qualities of a true gentleman. Kumar Sangakkara, an elegant stroke player, a reliable keeper, and an astute thinker, was the cornerstone of Sri Lankan cricket for close to 15 years. Part of the modern generation of wicketkeeper-batsmen, Sangakkara's versatility is the prime reason for his side's success.
Apart from being a great batsman, he was equally good as a captain also. He captained Sri Lanka for a very long time and helped Sri Lanka reach the finals of the 2011 Cricket World Cup.
