5 best second innings Test batsmen of all time

#4 Kumar Sangakkara (4,569 runs)

Kumar Sangakkara, who was known to make the opposition's bowlers work like Trojans, was one of the most dependable batsmen in Sri Lanka's arsenal for over a decade.

Considered to be one of the most stylish batsmen in the history of cricket, Sangakkara amassed 4,569 runs from his second innings of the 109 Test he played between 2000 and 2015.

The left-hander, whose tally of international runs is only behind Sachin Tendulkar, hit 14 centuries and 23 half-centuries while batting for the second time in a five-dayer.

The wicket-keeper batsman's highest score in the third or fourth innings of a five-day game came in a 2011 match against Pakistan in Abu Dhabi.

Sangakkara scored 211 in the fourth innings as the match ended in a draw.
