Kumar Sangakkara's solid technique and perfect balance are two of his greatest strengths that made him better than many other legends. The Sri Lankan legend has always proved his worth and has a fantastic record against India. His one of the most memorable Test series' took place against India in 2010 where he once again showed his solidity to his fans. He was unstoppable in every match against their Asian rivals.

On the other hand, India failed to give a fight in their 1st innings and were bundled out 276. The visitors were asked to enforce the follow-on and failed yet again by scoring just 338. Sri Lanka won the game by 10 wickets and Sangakkara was praised for his captaincy and batting.
