Smriti Mandhana made Kumar Sangakkara feel ‘humbled’

Sri Lankan cricket great legend Kumar Sangakkara says he is ‘humbled to have been mentioned by such a wonderful player’ as India women’s cricket team opener Smriti Mandhana. The left-handed India batter, who idolises the Sri Lankan, registered two big innings — including a century — at the ICC Women’s World Cup last month in England.

Smriti, who scored 90 and 106 not out in the first two games of the World Cup, said \it was Sangakkara who motivated her, and she would always watch his batting videos to pick up things.

“Whenever I feel that I am not batting the way I should, I watch videos of Kumar Sangakkara. I like his batting style. I also admire Ganguly, but it is Sangakkara that I relate to. I haven’t really watched Ganguly bat a lot in my young days, while Sangakkara has been an inspiration,” she told sportstarlive.com.


Smriti tried batting like her brother, but it was Sangakkara who had the greater impact on her style.

“I try and play a cover drive like Sangakkara. Earlier, I used to copy my brother’s batting style. But watching Sangakkara’s batting videos give me a fair bit of idea on how I should improve,” Smriti added.
