This world has seen many games that are played either one-on-one or as a team. Out of all these games there are very few games referred to as ‘Gentlemen’s Game’. When we say Gentleman’s Game it does not imply that the game is slow, but a game played in a gentlemanly manner.
Cricket has always been considered as a gentleman’s game. It is a unique game if compared with other sports and away from the laws of the game, cricket players are expected to stand by the spirit of the game. Cricket is played in a certain style and elegance that is enjoyed by both the players and spectators.

According to Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews, Kumar practiced very hard to hit a big in his last match for the country and it was an emotional test for him. He came to the crease when Sri Lanka lost the wicket of Dimuth Karunaratne with only one run on the scorecard. He shook hands with Indian skipper Virat Kohli before taking the crease. Team India was all out on 393 runs in first inning. Indian off spinner picked up his wicket after he went on to score 32 runs. The honor of ‘an archway of cricket bats’ was given to this legend.
