Kumar Sangakkara was one of the mainstays in the batting unit of the Sri Lankan outfit in the last edition of the tournament.
In the 22 matches Sangakkara played, he scored 683 runs at an average of 38 and a strike rate close to 72. He mustered four half-centuries in the games as well. The southpaw was severe on the England bowling unit in the last edition of the competition as he smashed an unbeaten 134 at Kennington Oval in London.
Sangakkara will be seen donning a different mantle in the 2017 edition of the Champions Trophy as he is all set to make his commentary debut in the showpiece tournament.
