More disappointed as we didn't win it for Sanga:Angelo Mathews
"We didn't play our best cricket. More disappointed we didn't win it for Sanga. We promised him we would play our best cricket, but we didn't,"Mathews said after the match.
Offspinner Ravichandran Ashwin propelled India to a thumping 278-run victory over Sri Lanka and level the series on the final day of their second test match in Colombo making Kumar Sangkara's last match look more melancholic.
Sri Lanka, resuming at their overnight score of 72 for 2 wickets, lost as many as 7 batsmen in the morning session to get bundled out for just 134.
India had scored 393 in the first innings and 325 for eight, declared in the second while the hosts scored 306 in their first session.
Ravichandran Ashwin, India's premiere spinner, wreaked havoc as he claimed five scalps giving away only 46 runs.
