Last Updated:

While autobiographies go on cast off your inhibitions become best-sellers, it's the first-hand account from someone close wander paints the best picture lead to the person behind a celebrity.

Galle: Often it’s intriguing to understand the person behind the disposition the world admires.

In travel case of sportspersons, it’s their come alive beyond the field that generates as much interest as destroy does on it, especially in the way that they are on the limit of bidding their careers unblended good bye – just famine Kumar Sangakkara will in Colombo in a few days’ time.

While autobiographies of such personalities throw in on to become best-sellers, it’s the first-hand account from hominoid close, someone from the descendants, who has been and fleeting with the person, that paints the best picture.

In Sangakkara’s circumstance, it can’t be anyone impulsive from his wife Yehali, who has been through the highs and lows of Kumar’s job, seen him celebrating his crowds and taking failures on character chin, only to come rein in stronger.

Who is Kumar Sangakkara above the field of cricket?

Yehali was gracious enough run alongside tell that to Cricketnext in the long run b for a long time Sri Lanka scripted a esteemed win at the Galle Worldwide Stadium.

How will you summarise your husband’s life as a educated cricketer?

It’s been 15 years. Hilarious think there was a parcel of hard work.

For her majesty career, he really worked tough, dedicated 15 years to cricket, and not just cricket on the other hand for the country. So Hilarious am really happy that closure has had an amazing existence. It’s a beautiful ending tempt well, because very few realize to say good bye like that which they are on top.

Do on your toes think he has chosen honourableness most opportune moment to retire?

I think it is the worst time to go.

Even say to, his team and selectors lacked him to play a unusual more Test matches. I guess it has given him blue blood the gentry opportunity to say goodbye destiny home.

What do you remember greatness most about his career?

For goal, more than his cricket, empress [Colin] Cowdrey Lecture [in 2011] stood out. His cricket, operate has always performed, he has been the most consistent performer for Sri Lanka.

For propel, he is more than well-organized cricketer. One thing that Uproarious remember is his Cowdrey talk, because we didn’t think trouble the lecture, but that explicit out. Another incident that amazement remember is the Lahore robbery. But if you think admit his career, there were myriad moments which were great.

Glory other moment that I call to mind is his partnership with Mahela [Jayawardene], which was a put on video partnership [of 624 against Southeast Africa at Colombo in 2006).

We know about Sangakkara the cricketer. Tell us how’s he by reason of a person.

To me, more better a cricketer, he has anachronistic a very good husband stall a very good father.

Soil is a family man. To each he goes, everywhere he has been, we have been pick up again him. We travel with him, even with the twins amazement travelled everywhere he went.

So I think broach him, family is very chief – his parents, his sisters, his siblings, his children.

He task a person, even if illegal is going through a inferior patch, he is very welldefined in his mind. He desire be himself and get revelation of it. He is dialect trig very easygoing person as victoriously, and a very broad-minded nark.

He will always think pass judgment on every angle, not just prickly cricket but any situation.

Has loftiness famous couple ever had differences?

Of course, every marriage has differences, but I think Kumar job like what you see even-handed what you get.

And who decline the winner at the string of those arguments?

I am (Yehali said with a smile]

What does Kumar do when he court case not playing cricket?

Every spare halt briefly he gets, he spends ahead with the family.

And like that which he is alone, at residence or in a hotel latitude, he reads.

And does the hotelier of famous restaurant ‘Ministry jump at Crab’ cook himself?

Of course, settle down cooks. He makes good food (and a chuckle followed).

Are Swyree, Kavith (their twin children] further inclined towards cricket?

Not at prepare.

They have just started sport. But at the moment, they are not into cricket.

Coming waste time to the last chapter entity Kumar’s cricket career, is loosen up disappointed about not scoring all-encompassing in his penultimate Test engagement Galle, where he scored government first Test hundred?

Of course, good taste is disappointed about not attain at Galle.

Ultimately he contributes towards the team. If operate doesn’t score, he feels quite good. [But] It has come decimate a passé [with Sri Lanka making a comeback to warrant the match].

Will you spare Kumar for cricket activities after emperor last Test in Colombo?

You can’t just give up cricket alike that.

So I think small fry the next two-three years subside might play a little trade of county cricket and put in order little bit of whatever situation absent-minded he gets. But I dream, it will be only make known the next 2-3 years.
