Cricket career

He first became recognised when he was the runner-up best schoolboy cricketer during the 1994 cricketing season when he first played cricket for Nalanda College. Nalanda College is a Buddhist school in Colombo, Sri Lanka. ...

He made his Test debut in the record breaking Test in 1997 against India at R.P.S., Colombo. Mahela Jayawardene added 66 to the massive score. That same match, Sanath Jayasuriya played a man of the match performance with a score of 340. Sri Lanka ended up scoring 952/6, the highest ever Test score. Jayawardene was at the crease when they surpassed the previous highest Test score. Jayawardene apparently developed an appetite for big scores, with scores like the 167 against New Zealand and the brilliant 242 against India.

Sanath Teran Jayasuriya (born 30 June 1969 in Matara) is a Sri Lankan cricketer. ...

His One Day International debut was against Zimbabwe at Premadasa in January 1998. They won the match, with Jayawardene hitting the winning run. In his second game, Jayawardene scored a 74 against Zimbabwe. It took only 11 matches before he scored his first century, which was against England in the Carlton and United World Series game at Adelaide. Jayawardene entered a pressure situation, with Sri Lanka struggling at 134/4. The 21 year old Sri Lankan, managed to post a scintillating 120 runs to win the match. A One-day International (ODI) cricket match is a one-day cricket match played between two international teams each representing a particular country. ...

Jayawardene was captain during the England tour in 2006 in the absence of Marvan Atapattu. He led his team to 1-1 draw in the Test series and an emphatic whitewash (5-0) in the ODI series. Marvan Samson Atapattu (born 22 November 1970 in Kalutara) is a Sri Lankan cricketer and was captain until a back injury forced him to miss the series against England in May 2006, where Mahela Jayawardene took over as Test and ODI captain. ...

In the first Test of the 2006 Test series against South Africa, Jayawardene shared a world record stand of 624 with Kumar Sangakkara. This partnership, the highest for any wicket in first-class cricket history, and the first instance of a stand of 600 or more in a first-class or Test match innings, smashed the previous third wicket stance for Sri Lanka, surpassing 262 which involved himself along with Thilan Samaraweera. It also broke the previous record for the third wicket for all Test playing nations surpassing the 467 run partnership made by the New Zealand pair of Martin Crowe and Andrew Jones which came in 1991 against Sri Lanka. Jayawardene became the first Sri-Lankan captain to score a Test triple-century, making a superb 374 runs off 572 deliveries with 43 fours and 1 six, the fourth highest score in Test match cricket. His score was also the highest score by a Sri Lankan in a Test match innings surpassing Sanath Jayasuriya's 340 in 1997 against India. That triple-hundred made him the fourth in the highest individual scores list, which is currently topped by Brian Lara (400*), followed by Matthew Hayden (380), and Brian Lara again (375); making him the highest right-handed batsmen in the list. He is also the first batsman to pass 350 in a Test without going on to break the world record. He was chosen as a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 2007.

Off the field

He has won praise for his personal contribution to the HOPE cancer project. His cricketing career ground to a halt in the most tragic of circumstances, when a brain tumour claimed the life of his younger brother Dhishal, who was just 16 at the time. At the time, Jayawardene was captain of his school team and gave up cricket for six months. Eventually he was persuaded to go on and set about rebuilding his career. With memories of Dhishal in mind, he became the leading campaigner of HOPE. Now, with the support of his team-mates, he aims to build a new 750-bed cancer unit at Maharagama, the country's only dedicated cancer hospital. He's married to a Danish Sri Lankan, Christina Sirisena. Cancer is a class of diseases or disorders characterized by uncontrolled division of cells and the ability of these to spread, either by direct growth into adjacent tissue through invasion, or by implantation into distant sites by metastasis (where cancer cells are transported through the bloodstream or lymphatic system). ... Maharagama is a Town and Municipal Area in the Colombo District, Sri Lanka. ...

Quotes

• "There is so much uncertainty in cricket. One day you can get a hundred, the next day you can be dismissed for a zero. It makes you become practical about things. Teaches you to accept both success and failure. I think I have learnt a lot about life from cricket.”
• "We should not play like Australia or India or England - we should play like Sri Lanka."
