IND vs SL: No Sangakkara, no Mahela, no Herath - Sri Lanka meandering in Tests in recent years

The Hindu  

On August 24, 2015, Kumar Sangakkara, one of Sri Lanka’s modern-day greats, bid adieu to Test cricket, leaving a void that hasn’t yet been filled. READ: New start for Rohit Sharma's Team India in Virat Kohli's 100th Test In the six and a half years that Sri Lanka has played without Sangakkara and Jayawardene, it has won 22 matches, lost 25, and drawn 11 for a win-loss ratio of 0.880, better than its overall win-loss ratio of 0.840. Away from home, in Test series against all nations barring Bangladesh, West Indies and Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka lost 14 and won just two matches out of 21. It was Sri Lanka’s first Test series win in South Africa, less than two years after its 3-0 win in the UAE – a series dominated once again by Herath and Perera.
