Before presidential intervention you had both blue and green supporters behind you. Now you are only running on presidential powers - not on your own manpower!

Sanath will lose the election and he can continue playing cricket for both the IPL and Sri Lanka.

How come a politician can play cricket? This privilege is only for ruling party members? Come-on Lokuge, shame on you, as Sports minister.

Great sportsmen retire at their peak and that's why they are legends; not garbage for the trash-bin.

Nobody expected this from you, Sanath! All the respect you had gained, has now gone into the drain, with the poor timing of this 'shot' of yours!

It's too early for Sanath to have joined politics! Should have waited some more ...

Can't you gracefully retire from Sri Lankan cricket? This is your 'thing' - doing politics ... we don't care.

If he doesn't have time to cast his own vote, will he have enough time to serve the public? I doubt it ... good luck to Sri Lanka!

Siiting in the bench of Mumbai indians more important than casting vote on the due date.

He should not have been allowed to do so. Sanath is not playing for his country. He is greedy after IPLoney

Just stay in Matara, Mumbai Indians will not select you anyway. Join the gangsters and get ready to play dirty politics now.
