List of international cricket centuries by Kumar Sangakkara
Described by the English cricket writer Peter Roebuck as "among the most polished and prudent of batsmen",[1] Sangakkara has made centuries (100 or more runs in a single innings) on 38 and 25 occasions in Test and ODI matches respectively.During his innings of 287 against South Africa in 2006, he and Mahela Jayawardene set a new world record of 624 runs for the highest partnership for any wicket in Test or first-class cricket.[16][N 4] He made his ODI debut in July 2000 against Pakistan, and his first century in this format was against the same team during the 2003 Cherry Blossom Sharjah Cup.Sangakkara's only ODI century as captain was scored against New Zealand in a group stage match in the 2011 ICC World Cup.[20] In the sixth match of the 2011–12 Commonwealth Bank Series, Sangakkara became the third and fastest Sri Lanka batsman to reach 10,000 ODI runs.
