Sanath Jayasuriya trounces India with 151 off 120 deliveries
On May 17, 1997, Sanath Jayasuriya recorded the highest One-Day International (ODI) score by a Sri Lankan, at the Wankhede Stadium in the Independence Cup match against India. His batting broke the spirit of the home team who were not even given an inch by the Sri Lankan southpaw. The feature of his batting was the command with which he engineered the run-chase by scoring nearly two-third of the runs on his own. Sarang Bhalerao revisits Jayasuriya’s stellar effort.
