Leave a Comment
Sri Lankan opener Sanath Jayasuriya became the second cricketer to cross 13,000 runs in ODI cricket. Jayasuriya achieved the feat in the 14th over bowled by Ishant Sharma during the first ODI cricket match between India and Sri Lanka played at Rangiri Dambulla International stadium in Sri Lanka on 28 January 2009.

Indian opener Sachin Tendulkar is leading the ODI scorers list with 16,422 runs. It is good to see that both these greats are playing in this match. Sachin Tendulkar is playing in his 420th ODI while Jayasuriya is in his 428th ODI.

Jayasuriya has scored 27 centuries and 67 half-centuries before the commencement of the match. Jayasuriya is a real entertainer. Our salutes to him for the great achievement! Go on Sanath!

At the end of 15 overs, Sri Lanka are 59/1 with Jayasuriya on 38 (41 balls) and Sangakkara on 18 (47 balls). The current run rate is 3.93.
