#2 Kumar Sangakkara

No cricketer has dominated the cricketing world in their twilight years like Sangakkara did in his last few years. His appetite for runs just kept growing as his career progressed and resulted in an incredible four centuries in the 2015 world cup at the age of 37.
Even though he averages 41.80 in ODI, His ODI record pales in comparison with his outstanding achievements in Test cricket. He struggled a lot in overseas conditions during the initial phase of his career but when he retired, he cemented his place among the legends of the game.
He was also a very reliable wicketkeeper. His captaincy almost inspired Sri Lanka to another world cup and the way he managed his workload by balancing glovework and batting for the majority of his career is simply outstanding. The sight of him leaning into that gorgeous cover drive will remain etched forever in the memory of cricket fans.
