Fitting finale at Lord's
Sangakkara poses next to his portrait at the home of cricket
Few players will have signed off their last first-class match at Lord's in as much style as Sangakkara.
Alongside two match-saving centuries, the former Durham and Warwickshire player also passed 20,000 first-class runs.
Those feats coincided with him having his portrait - which hangs beside those of fellow Sri Lanka greats Mahela Jayawardene and Muttiah Muralitharan - unveiled in the Lord's pavilion.
"It was a great privilege and an honour. I think the artist has made me look better than I actually am," he joked.
"I sat here in my last Test at Lord's for Sri Lanka thinking 'I hope I get a hundred, but wouldn't it be funny if I get out for a duck'.
"You never think of [scoring a] hundred. You think 'I want to get a hundred', but then you just try and do your processes, you try and get through tough periods, and bat as the game develops.
"I wasn't aware I'd reached 20,000 [first-class] runs - I only really know how many Test and One-Day International runs I've scored - but it was really nice to find out that I passed [that milestone].
