Top 10 highest individual scores in Tests in the last decade

5. Kumar Sangakkara (Sri Lanka) – 319:

Having sown 14 years of indefatiguable work ethic and uncompromising self-betterment into the game, Kumar Sangakkara harvested another crop of statistical triumphs in Chittagong, where he became the 3rd Sri Lanka batsman to hit a triple-hundred. En route to his triple, Sangakkara became the fastest man to 11,000 Test runs, eclipsing Brian Lara’s previous record by 5 innings.

He lofted 8 sixes and 32 strokeful boundaries to notch up a stylish triple century to avoid an upset against Bangladesh. His carrier best 319 came at a time when Sri Lanka needed it the most.
