Rare to find players like Sangakkara who have virtually no haters. Dravid another one who comes to mind. #ThankYouSanga

Good Bye, Sangakkara! No better consistent batsman than him in the last about 10 years across all formats.

Kumar Sangakkara ends up with exactly 12400 test runs. #IndvsSL

Ravi Ashwin will remain the only bowler to dismiss Kumar Sangakkara in four consecutive innings! #SLvsInd #INDvSL #ThankYouSanga
— Rajneesh Gupta (@rgcricket) August 23, 2015

Sanga caught Vijay bowled Ashwin. Two Tamils join forces to get the greatest Lankan batsman of all time. #SLvInd

No fairy-tale ending for Kumar Sangakkara. R Ashwin picks the great man for the 4th time in the series. #ThankYouSanga
