Oh come on,if you did know,in the last three years,India and lanka have been like playing each other every other month.
I believe most of his runs would have come against India,because he featured in all of it i reckon.

Just to further expand upon my previous post where I mentioned that Sangakkara has only played 2 matches against India over the last 3 years. Below is a table showing the number of runs Sanga has scored against the top 8 teams. As we can see, he has scored the most runs against Pakistan; India are 4th on the list.
It was all a bit sad watching Sanga walk off the pitch one last time. The end of an era. I was rooting desperately for him to get a 50 for one final celebration. Credit to India for the respect and sportsmanship they showed upon his dismissal.
India should look to wrap it up by the second session.Should they themselves go on the defensive,then there will be no stopping the sri lankan Juggernaut from clinching the series here.
Excellent morning session for India. 4 more wickets so far, including the prize wicket of Angel Mathews first ball of the day. Just 4 more wickets are required for victory.
Seven down now and 5 wickets in the morning session. Ashwin leading the way with 4 wickets in the second innings. Skies look a little overcast but nothing that should stop India.
...
And five-wickets now for Ashwin. Karunaratne goes and there is a possibility this may be over before lunch. Remarkable session for India; 6 wickets for 51 runs.
