Despite of the post’s wide reach and positive comments from fans, former Srilankan legend Sangakkara who was also a prominent wicket keeper of his times, didn’t get in terms with the title ICC added. He wanted ICC to mention Dhoni as “Quickest hands in the world during his time” and not just east. “Quickest hands in the world during his time not just the East” Kumar’s reply read.
