SYDNEY: Sri Lanka great Sanath Jayasuriya has said he would love Kumar Sangakkara to go back on his decision to quit ODIs after the World Cup after witnessing his “unbelievable” batting feats during the tournament.
Since being dismissed for seven by Afghanistan in a World Cup group match in Dunedin last month, the 37-year-old left-hander has made scores of 105 not out against Bangladesh, 117 not out against England, 104 against Australia and 124 against Scotland.
“Unbelievable,” said Jayasuriya, Sri Lanka’s chairman of selectors, during a training session at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Monday.
“It’s one of the rarest things you can see, him playing four (hundreds) in a row. I’m lucky to be here to watch all four innings.
“I’m very happy and what I want, as chairman of selectors, is for him to continue his form right throughout the World Cup.
