3.Kumar Sangakara (Srilanka)

As soon as he broke into the side at the age of 22, while a law student, it was apparent that Kumar Sangakkara was destined for more than just batting stardom. The left-handers that had preceded him, like Arjuna Ranatunga and Asanka Gurusinha, had been pugnacious battlers but Sangakkara was cut from more graceful cloth, easing into strokes with the elegance often associated withthose that play with the 'other' hand. The cut and the pull came naturally to him and with growing confidence, he became a more assured front-foot player as well.He was most ravishing and outstanding player of the World.

The first real time heavyweight in this list who has the ability to make a mockery of all those figures stated above. More than 21,000 runs to his name in ODIs and Tests involving 47 centuries and 117 half-centuries. Above 600 dismissals including a world record 81 stumpings. Perhaps one of the most lethal, classical, reliable and legendary wicket keeper batsmen the cricketing world has ever witnessed. From leading the side to care taking the side, Sangakkara has done it all. Providing the team with much needed partnerships, altering the scoring rate at will, dwarfing big targets and handling the pressure down to the core… how well this man has represented and taken care of Sri Lankan cricket is something which can only be described through volumes of books and an unending series of lectures. Top Ten Greatest Wicket keepers Of All Time is proud to have Sangakkara in at number three and thanks him for all the entertainment and for keeping the gentlemen’s game alive. Thank You so much Sir.
