Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene had the perfect farewell to their T20I careers when they lifted the World T20 trophy on Sunday, defeating India by 6 wickets in the final.
On a personal note, where Sangakkara was awarded the Man of the Match trophy for his half-century, Jayawardene too had an individual record to celebrate on the day. When he steered a delivery from Mohit Sharma to third-man region in the 4th over, he became the first cricketer to score 1000 runs in World T20.
Jayawardene is the 2nd highest run-getter (1493) behind Brendon McCullum (2044) in T20 international cricket, but when it comes to the world event, Jayawardene is a clear first, with Chris Gayle (807) some distance behind him.
Here are the top 10 run-getters in 5 editions of World T20:
