Did you know?
Mahela Jayawardene, a right-handed powerhouse, holds the highest Test score for Sri Lanka, reaching 374 runs against South Africa in 2006 [1]. Though Pathum Nissanka recently surpassed Sanath Jayasuriya's 189 in an ODI with an impressive 210* against Afghanistan in 2024 [3], the record for the highest individual ODI score rests with him.
Meanwhile, the highest individual T20I score by a Sri Lankan isn't explicitly listed in available records. However, Mahela Jayawardene was the first Sri Lankan to score a T20I century during his career, though the exact score is not specified in sources [1]. Kusal Perera currently holds the record for the highest T20I score by a Sri Lankan according to general cricket records (official figures not provided in sources here) [2].
Spotlight on Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara, who hold the highest Test partnership (624 runs) for any wicket [4], giving a glimpse of Sri Lanka's historic batting prowess.
