4. Kumar Sangakkara – 169 v South Africa:

In the first ODI of South Africa’s tour to Sri Lanka in 2013, Sangakkara’s 169 helped Sri Lanka thrash South Africa by 180 runs. Coming in at number 3, the veteran took 137 balls for his 169 before being dismissed by Aaron Phangiso. His dominance was such that the second highest score in the match after Sangakkara was Upul Tharanga’s 43. Sangakkara hit 18 boundaries and 6 towering maximums to take Sri Lanka’s score to 320/5. South Africa in reply, collapsed to 140 all out in less than 32 overs. Sangakkara dominated the South African attack with unusual aggression. He built his innings to a crescendo, scoring 66 runs off the first 91 balls and 103 from the next 46 and bulleted the leg side with boundaries. Almost 78% of his runs – 131 – came on the on-side.
