"Proud to be a part of this team and proud to have played alongside Maiya for so long. 14 years and to win the WC together. Can't ask fr more," Sangakkara, who played a pivotal role in the summit clash with an unbeaten half-century, tweeted.
India's quest for a historic treble ended in heartbreak last night as a gutsy Sri Lanka produced a clinical display to win their maiden ICC World T20 trophy, the triumph also attracting accolades from Virat Kohli and A B de Villiers among others.
It was appropriate that Sangakkara was there in the middle when Sri Lanka hit the winning runs.
"what a night! No words to express all the emotions. Thank you to all the fans, family, friends and team. Finally a world cup win. Amazing," Sangakkara said.
