The most prominent cricketer emerged from the Lankan
shores, Kumar Sangakkara surpassed all great batsmen in consistency and mental
strength scoring hundreds after hundreds in an outstanding Test career of 130
Tests. His international stint is going to end in the Sri Lankan summer of 2015
and he will be waiting to deliver his final best against his favorite pounding
boys Pakistan. The wicketkeeper-batsman has compiled no less than 38 Test
centuries so far at a top-class average of 58.66. Sangakkara’s record against
Pakistan is outstanding. He has collected 2,809 runs at an average of 80.25 in
21 matches.

Sangakkara has amassed these runs scoring 10
hundreds including three double centuries and two innings of 190 and 185. Sunil
Gavaskar, with 2,089 runs at just under 57 including five centuries in over 24
Tests, is his nearest opponent in terms of runs scored. He is 191 runs short to
become the first batsman to compile 3,000 Test runs against Pakistan. The
37-year-old’s first test against Pakistan was at Gaddafi Stadium Lahore in
March 2002 where he scored 230 leading his team to win.
