Brilliant captaincy of Kumara Sangakkara was hailed by the Pakistani Captain Younus Khan. That is his brilliance in the field. I noticed his brilliance on the field as well when he was questioned by the press in the aftermath of the Lahore bomb attack. Many said that it was a miracle that they were saved or God saved them from death.

Kumar Sangakkara looked at it objectively and sympathetically, and said that he felt sorry for those Policemen who died in defending them. What a humane and compassionate statement! This spirit of understanding reality is possible only through a consistent religious discipline leading to an inner sense of compassion.
