5 cricketers whose jerseys should be retired

4.Kumar Sangakkara

Sangakkara wore the number 11 on his back for most part of his career

Arguably Sri Lanka's greatest batsman in all-forms of cricket, Kumar Sangakkara's jersey number during his career remained '11'.

According to numerology, the number 11 is associated with wisdom.

The left-hander was the lynchpin in the Lankan batting line-up, with an appetite for big scores, which would invariably put his side in a strong position in the game.

Up until his last limited-overs competition- the 2015 World Cup- he hammered attacks all over the world, scoring four consecutive hundreds, before the team's exit in the quarter-final stage of the competition.

While many Lankan players have not had their jersey numbers retired, Sangakkara is surely one of the deserving candidates to have the number 11 made his own.
