Some of the breathtaking batting records are with this Master Blaster from Matara. He holds the record for the fastest fifty in One Day Internationals, a pulverizing half century coming in just 16 balls off a Pakistani attack at Padang, Singapore. He also held the record for the fastest hundred in ODIs which was broken by another bludgeoning batsman Shahid Afridi. Jayasuriya also holds the records for the most number of sixes in ODI cricket and the Fastest 50 in 20 Twenty cricket.
The Destructive Sanath Jayasuriya of Sri Lanka has taken apart the bowling of Andre Adams of NZ on every ocassion he has faced him.
The scores are level last over 1 run to win!

Sri Lanka now hold the highest scores in all three forms of international cricket, adding the Twenty20 peak to their Test and one-day records.
30 runs in an over is a remarkable feat but Sanath Jayasuriya has acheived this remarkable feat twice!
Sanath Jayasuriya gave Sri Lanka hope of a remarkable series-levelling victory with an electrifying batting assault on the fourth afternoon at Kandy. Set an improbable target of 352, Sri Lanka raced out of the blocks with Jayasuriya plundering a brilliant 131. But Australia kept them in check with regular wickets, and struck a crucial - perhaps matchwinning - blow when Tillakaratne Dilshan fell in the fading evening light. Sri Lanka closed on 301 for 7, still needing 51 for a remarkable victory. The Jayasuriya Show continued, though, as Stuart MacGill was collared out of the attack, conceding 16 runs in the final over of an 11-over spell that leaked 65 runs. -Cricinfo
