The cricketing world might be applauding Kumar Sangakkara but the cricket's dad is not very impressed with his son's career. Like a typical desi parent, he wrote: “I have always been his harshest critic. And he knows about it all too well. For the world, Kumar was this venerated technician. But in my opinion, he never reached that level. He could have done so much better with the skills he had." He added: “Everybody speaks about his average being in the same league of Graeme Pollock and Garry Sobers, but Kumar could have done better. He too often let bowlers dismiss him rather than them having to get him out.”
