Jayawardene
jayawaJayawardene made his Test debut in 1997 and his One Day International
(ODI) debut the following season. In 2006 he made the highest ever
score by a Sri Lankan in Test cricket, scoring 374 in the second Test of
Sri Lanka's home series against South Africa. He has a Test average of over 50 and an ODI
average in the 30s. He is the first and only player in the history of
Sri Lankan cricket to score over 10,000 Test runs. Despite his
relatively low ODI average, Jayawardene is considered to be one of the
best batsmen produced by Sri Lanka and is generally held in high regard
as a legend of the modern game along with team-mate Kumar Sangakkara. He is one of only three Sri Lankans—the others being Sanath Jayasuriya and Kumar Sangakkara—to have scored more than 10,000 runs in ODIs.rdene
