#6 Mahela Jayawardene missing out on the highest individual score in Tests
The stylish right-handed batsman from Sri-Lanka, Mahela Jayawardene, is famously known for his mastery against spin bowling. His partnership of 624 runs with Kumar Sangakkara against South Africa at Colombo in 2006, is the highest partnership for any wicket in Tests

During the same Test, when Jayawardene crossed the 350-run mark, he looked like breaking Brian Lara's record of the highest individual score, 400 not out, in Tests. But unfortunately, Mahela was cleaned up by Andre Nel on 374 runs to miss the landmark by just 26 runs. His score of 374 is now the 4th highest individual score in Tests.
In his 18 years of international career, Mahela scored around 25000 runs with the help of 53 tons and 127 half-centuries in all formats combined.
