What a battting line Jaysuriya, Atapatu, Mahanama, Araavinda Silva, Ranatunga, Jaywerdene, Russel. Can u belive it!!!! They r all legend. Mahanama was also a good palyer.

[sunnytomar]

Srilankan made highest score in test =952 odi=398 t20=260
You know whats common in them sanath jayasuriya master class performance.. A true legend who can play any format

[RuanAntunes]

When 537 is considered a low score on a pitch you know that pitch is a bowler’s graveyard

[nikhilmajukar]

615/1 is insane. Would have loved if 1000 were scored

[itpl]

I watch this live on TV when i was in school
And then one of classmates said to me
in local news paper it is printed " if you want to create records then play against india"
Jaisuriya was most devastating opener in his generation.

[AxeDharme]

Finally getting the second wicket at 615, only to see the greatest ever SL batsman to walk in to bat.

[mrkipling]

Kulkarni got a wicket with his first ball in test cricket. I bet he thought it was going to be easy!! 1-195

[boxinggreats]

that's there class. they have the unbreakable records in cricket history

[adityasaigal]

This Sri Lankan team changed the course of one day cricket. Due to them concept changed, power play came into existence. It was kaluwitharna and jaisuria whose target in every match to score 100-120+ runs in first 15 overs

[kmarasin]

Mahela Jayawardena's debut match. He takes guard for the first time in test cricket with the scoreboard reading 790/4

[ratanmalviya]

Im from India, but big fan of Arvinda, great player, real the wall for lanka in these days, jab chote the toh arvinda ki batting dekh gussa aata tha, but lof of respect now

[chathurilokugamage]

I can remember just before this match if I'm not mistaken, Sachin was asked how many runs he'd want on the board to defeat Sri Lanka, and his answer was 1000.... and then this happened 🥰

[denvergavin]

Back in the days when Sri lanka cricket was legendary and nobody couldn’t stop them..

[zeeshanhaider]

Punishment to umpires 😂
Waving all the day

[xmhnab]

This match turned the All-rounders in India into bowlers

[visheshrathi]

Those days, even 500 wasn't enough.
these days we hardly see a single 500+ total in whole series.
and even 150 is defendable.

[aquaLIFE]

sri lanka still have many talented players.
But these are not being promoted by the Sri Lankan Cricket Board.

[LIFE-CRICKET-TRAVELS]

that is one of the rarest footage i have seen, I saw it on Live TV as a kid. After Sri Lanka complied that score i thought they would score 1000 in an innings.

[currymuncha]

I'm a Sri Lankan. And this was super entertaining to see.
