    6/9

    Along with his opening partnerRomesh Kaluwitharana, Jayasuriya revolutionized One Day International batting

    with his aggressive tactics during the1996 Cricket World Cup, a strategy they first tried on the preceding tour of

    Australia. The tactic used was to take advantage of the early fielding restrictions by smashing the opening

    bowlers to all parts of the cricket ground, particularly by lofting their deliveries over the mandatory infielders,

    rather than the established tactic of building up momentum gradually. This was a novel but potentially match-

    winning tactic at that time, and Sri Lanka, who had previously never made it out of the preliminary rounds, went

    on to win the World Cup without a single defeat. Their new gameplan is now the standard opening batting

    strategy in limited overs cricket for the modern era.Glenn McGrathcited Jayasuriya in his XI of toughest

    batsmen, noting "it is always a massive compliment to someone to say they changed the game, and his

    storming innings in the 1996 World Cup changed everyone's thinking about how to start innings."[13]

    Jayasuriya is known for both cuts and pulls along with his trademark shot, a lofted cut over point. He was one

    of the key players in Sri Lanka's victory in the 1996 Cricket World Cup, where he was adjudged Man of the

    Tournament in recognition of his all-round contributions. His philosophy towards batting is summarized by an

    all-aggression approach and over the years he has dominated almost every one day bowling combination that

    he has faced at one stage or another. This is because of his ability to make huge match-winning contributions

    at rapid pace once he gets in, he holds the record for the second highest number of one day centuries and has

    scored the second most 150+ scores (4 scores) (Sachin Tendulkarhas the most 150+ scores at 5). His

    devastating performances have ensured that Sri Lanka have won almost 80% of the matches that he scored

    over 50 runs in limited overs cricket.

    Test career[edit source|editbeta]

    Jayasuriya held the record for the highest Test score made by a Sri Lankan, 340 against India in 1997. This

    effort was part of a second-wicketpartnershipwithRoshan Mahanamathat set the then all-time record for any

    partnership in Test history, with 576 runs. Both records were surpassed in July 2006 when fellow Sri

    LankanMahela Jayawardenescored 374 as part of a 624-run partnership withKumar Sangakkaraagainst

    South Africa. On 20 September 2005, during the Second Test of thehome series against Bangladesh,

    Jayasuriya became the first Sri Lankan to play 100 Tests, and the 33rd Test cricketer to achieve this feat.

    Jayasuriya announced his intention to retire from Test cricket following thePakistan tour of Sri Lankain April

    2006. He reversed his decision soon after, however, joining theSri Lankan cricket teamin England in May

    2006. Missing the first two Tests, Jayasuriya returned in the Third Test atTrent Bridge.[14]

    After scoring 78 runs on day three of the first Test against England inKandyin 2007, he announced he was to

    retire from Test cricket[15]

    at the end of the match. In that inning he hit six fours in one over against James

    Anderson.

    Sanath Jayasuriya held the records for the fastest fifty (against Pakistan 17 balls), fastest 100 (against Pakistan

    48 balls) and fastest 150 (against England in 95 balls) in ODI cricket. Though he lost the fastest 100 to Shahid

    Afridiand fastest 150 toShane Watson, he still holds the record for the fastest fifty. Jayasuriya andSachin

    Tendulkarare the only players in history to have 4 ODI scores over 150. Jayasuriya's highest ODI score is 189

    runs, scored against India in Sharjah in 2000. It remains the highest ODI score by a Sri Lankan, and at the time

    of the innings it was the third-highestNote 1

    in ODI history. Until December 2009, he held the four highest

    individual scores by a Sri Lankan, and seven of the top nine.[16]

    holder for the fastest century (off 48 balls), before losing that claim to Shahid Afridiof Pakistan. He has also

    held the world record for most ODI sixes (270 in 441 ODI's), which was surpassed by Shahid Afridi during

    the2010 Asia Cupmatch against Bangladesh. He has become the fourth batsman to score more than 10,000

    runs and the second batsman to score more than 12,000, and 13,000 runs in the history of ODIs. He also is the

    third highest century getter in ODIs with 28 centuries. He used to hold the record of scoring most runs in an

    ODI over (30; he has achieved this twice).This record is now with South Africa'sHerschelle Gibbs(36 runs in

    an over).He used to hold the record of heading the most ODI caps by an international cricketer 444, till Sachin

  • 7/30/2019 Sanath Jayasuriya

    8/9

    was his 4th score of over 150 in ODI cricket and he is currently the only player to do so other than Sachin

    Tendulkarwho has achieved it five times. It was also his second successive score of 150 plus, another first in

    ODI cricket.

    He also scored 2 centuries and 2 half-centuries in the2007 Cricket World Cupheld in the West Indies.In 2008,

    his one-day career was all but over when he was omitted for the ODIs in the West Indies. However, a stirring

    performance in the IPLfinishing the third-highest run-getter with 514 runsprompted his country's sports

    minister to intervene in his selection for the Asia Cup. He ultimately shaped Sri Lanka's title victory with a

    blistering hundred under pressure.[23]

    His international career has been revived at the age of 41, after being

    recalled to the One-day and Twenty-20 squads for Sri Lanka's 2011 tour of England and Scotland.[24]

    Twenty20 career[edit source|editbeta]

    During the2007 ICC World Twenty20, Jayasuriya appeared to break his tradition of usingKookaburra batsby

    wielding a normalReeboksponsoredbat. He achieved two half centuries in the group stages against New

    Zealand and Kenya in this tournament. He also shares a dubious record withJames Andersonfor having the

    most expensive figures in a Twenty20 international, having been hit for 64 runs in the maximum of 4

    overs.[25]

    After the Twenty20 World Cup, Jayasuriya played inSri Lanka's 32 One Day International

    seriesdefeat against England, achieving limited success and then in the 20Test series defeatin Australia. In

    December 2007, Jayasuriya confirmed that he has signed forWarwickshirefor theTwenty20 Cup.[26]

    In April 2008, he joined theMumbai Indiansto play in theIndian Premier LeagueT20. After scoring a

    devastating 114 not out off just 48 balls[27]

    for the Mumbai Indians against Chennai, Jayasuriya regained his

    position in the one-day side after he had been dropped for the West Indies tour. He then followed up his

    century with a 17-ball 48 not out to surpass the Kolkata Knight Riders' score of 67 in just the 6th over, resulting

    in the biggest victory in Twenty20 history in terms of balls remaining.[28]

    In 2010 has signed

    withWorcestershirefor their Twenty20 campaign. At the age of 42, Jayasuriya played for theRuhuna Rhinosin

    the qualifying round of the2011 Champions League.[29]

    In February 2012 Jayasuria played for theKhulna

    Royal Bengalsin the inauguralBangladesh Premier League, later that year he played forKandurata Warriorsin

    the inauguralSri Lanka Premier League.

    Captaincy and all-round performances[edit source|editbeta]

    Jayasuriya was chosen as theWisdenLeading Cricketer in the World in 1996[30]

    and was named as one of

    theWisden Cricketers of the Yearin 1997. He served as the captain of the Sri Lankan cricket team in 38 test

    matches and 117 one day internationals from 1999 to 2003. Jayasuriya led Sri Lanka to the knock-out stage of

    the2003 cricket world cup, but stepped down from the captaincy after the loss to Australia in the semi final. He

    was also a very usefulall-rounderwith a goodbatting averagein both Test cricket and One Day Internationals,

    and had an excellent batting strike rate in One Day Internationals.
