GALLE: Sri Lankan captain Kumar Sangakkara on Saturday reminded his teammates to focus on the job at hand and not get carried away by emotions in Muttiah Muralitharan’s swansong cricket Test against India.
“As a team the best we can do for Murali is to make sure we don’t get too overwhelmed or carried away with what’s happening around but concentrate on really giving him a good farewell by playing a great match out there,” Sangakkara told reporters.
“The danger always is that you get distracted. The key is not to resist what’s happening around you, but just to relax and not worry about so many things. You’ve got to understand it.”
