Kumar Sangakkara's Test career in pictures

#2 First Test century, vs India, Galle, 2001

First big knock

Having missed out on a century against South Africa, Sangakkara got dismissed in the 90s yet again playing against England at home. The wait for his first three figure knock finally came to an end against India just two Tests later.

Sangakkara, playing his tenth Test match, made a patient 105 in the first Test of the series at Galle and along with Sanath Jayasurya, literally batted the visitors out of the game setting up Sri Lanka for a 10-wicket win. The hosts went on to win the three-match series 2-1.
