3. Kumar Sangakkara (Sri Lanka 2000-present)
Even though he has given up keeping in the long form of the game, Kumar Sangakkara is probably one of the greatest wicket-keepers SriLanka has produced. A wonderfully stylish batsman and very skilful keeper behind the stumps, Sangakkara has proved to be a wonderful captain as well guiding SriLanka to the world cup final in 2011.
Sangakkara has developed himself into an attacking batsman capable of destroying attacks at will. But his enthusiasm and safe hands behind the stumps has made him the go to man for any captain.
Fact: Kumar was a chorister and played the violin during his school-days.
