Mumbai, Sep 2: Recently retired Sri Lankan cricket legend Kumar Sangakkara on Wednesday said that his Twitter account was hacked.

An obscene photo was posted on his account. "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 shortly after the obscene photo was deleted.

"Ignore all messages until I tweet it's ok. Thank god we walked in for lunch."

The 37-year-old had recently retired from the game after the second Test during India's tour of Sri Lanka. The retired cricketer is currently playing for English county side Surrey.
