Sri Lanka is known to produce unique talents, none so more than Muttiah Muralitharan, who dodged all controversies, all the cynicism and all the hullabaloo to pick up 800 wickets in Test cricket.

His final wicket was that of Pragyan Ojha when he invited the left-hander to come forward, the ball turned, kissed the outside edge and nestled nicely with Mahela Jayawardene at first slip. He took this wicket after the last wicket pair had frustrated the hosts for almost 15 overs. This was the 800th Test wicket of the wizard too.

Sri Lanka went on to win the match by 10 wickets, and Muttiah Muralitharan called it a day.
