One of the cleanest hitters of the cricket ball and one of the most aggressive batsmen in the history of the game, Sanath Jayasuriya has scored the most number of runs by any Sri Lankan batsman in ODIs against India with 2899 runs at an average of 36.23 and at a strike rate of 96.98 with 14 half-centuries and 7 centuries.

Like his former teammates, Jayasuriya’s runs against India are his most against any nation.

Jayasuriya’s highest ODI score against India is his majestic 189 which he scored during the final of the Coca-Cola Champions Trophy at Sharjah in 2000. This remains to be the highest score by a Sri Lankan in ODIs.

In that match, India were skittled out for 54, their lowest ODI total. Besides his 189, Jayasuriya has been a nightmare to even the best of the Indian bowlers through his sensational batting performances.
