Kumar Sangakkara, who recently retired from international cricket, had to face an embarrassing situation on Tuesday when his Twitter account was hacked and an obscene photo was posted.

Sangakkara’s verified account claimed that the account was hacked and it has to be reset.

jQuery(document).ready(function(){ jQuery('.rel-article').bxSlider({ maxSlides: 6, slideMargin: 3 }); });

“Guys my twitter account has been hacked. I need to reset my account. It’s unbelievable. Apologies. In the middle of a county game.” Sangakkara tweeted.
