Twitter reactions to Kumar Sangakkara’s record-breaking innings against Scotland

Sri Lankan stalwart Kumar Sangakkara has become the 1st player ever to score 4 consecutive tons in the Cricket World Cup and in One-Day Internationals (ODIs) after bringing up his 25th ODI century against Scotland in a Pool A clash of the 2015 World Cup today. Courtesy of the knock, he has also become the 1st player to score 4 centuries in a single edition of the World Cup.

Sangakkara’s great run in the ongoing World Cup started when he struck 105* against Bangladesh at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) and has followed it up with scores of 117*, 104 and 124 against England, Australia and Scotland, respectively.

Here are the best Twitter reactions to Sangakkara’s record-breaking innings:

@cricBC

Bowling with 4 fielders on the boundary against a set batsman of Sanga’s class is like defending against a samurai with a tooth pick #ScovSL
