Kumar Sangakkara was asked to talk about the young players that they have and one aspect of these players to which he said, "Any aspect from the game from players like Devdutt Padikkal, Hetmyer, and Yashasvi Jaiswal that you would've liked to have if you were playing, Sanga?. Devdutt Padikkal's leg-side play, his flicks and his ability against pace are wonderful.”

He added, “Jaiswal.. his power and enthusiasm, in terms of the off-side play. Hetmyer's ability to hit sixers and Parag's ability to hit sixers for fun” said.

The Sri Lankan legend while talking further about Devdutt Padikkal said, “I've watched Devdutt Padikkal over the last two seasons. He's such an exciting player, so accomplished. I just want him to know how valuable he is for the team”.
