List of international cricket centuries by Sanath Jayasuriya
He is an all-rounder and opening batsman, and is known for his aggressive batting style that has earned him the name "Master Blaster".This later became a standard opening batting strategy and, according to Australian cricketer Glenn McGrath, Jayasuriya "changed everyone's thinking about how to start innings".[10] Although Jayasuriya made his Test debut in 1991, it was not until 1996 that he scored his first century, when he had become a regular player in the Sri Lankan side.[16] Jayasuriya made his ODI debut in 1989 and started playing as an opening batsman in 1993.[19] The 189 he made against India in 2000 is the sixth highest ODI score in a single innings.
