If there are three things that make a batsman-talent, work ethic, intelligence-Sanga excels heavily in the last two. Of course i am not saying he has no talent, but he didnt have the raw ability of say Yuvraj or Raina or Kohli or Imran Nazir or Phil Hughes or Ross Taylor (Made his test debut at 25). Even in Sri Lanka there were many other players who had far more talent and reputation at the same age.
Sanga was a good batsman who became world class with a lot of hard work. I just wish some of our guys can learn from him, take inspiration.
