Curtly Ambrose vs Kumar Sangakkara

Remember Kumar Sangakkara smashing Curtly Ambrose's short ball for a six in the Cricket All-Stars tournament in 2015? That was probably the only instance a batsman pulled Ambrose so easily for a six.

The tall right-arm pacer from Antigua is widely regarded as the best bowler of his generation and bamboozled the opposition with his pace, accuracy and bounce he generated. He ended his career with 405 Test wickets in 98 Test matches at an average of 20.98.

Sangakkara, on the other hand, was one of the classiest players of his generation and dominated almost every single bowler during his time, before eventually retiring with over 12000 runs in Tests at an average of 57.4. Not many bowlers managed to trouble the Sri Lankan as Sangakkara had a fine technique against all types of bowlers.

The battle between one of the best-equipped batsmen of all-time and the most deadly bowler of all-time would keep the fans on their toes.
