It could not have been a better last match in Galle for their favourite son as the home team scripted one of their finest turnarounds with a 63-run win.
While it was a quiet Test match by Sangakkara's standards as he scored 5 and 40 in the two innings, one could find him delirious with joy as Tharindu Kaushal dismissed Amit Mishra to complete a famous Test win.
Normally not a very expressive character, Sangakkara was not exactly keen on people carrying him on their shoulders.
The VIP box had the Sangakkara family -- all in attendance. Wife Yehali and the two kids -- a son and a daughter watched as the Lankan legend walked out of his favourite ground one last time.
