1. Kumar Sangakkara & Mahela Jayawardene – 624 v South Africa
The numero uno spot also goes to the modern day warriors of Sri Lankan cricket, Jayawardene, and Sangakkara who were the mainstay of Sri Lankan cricket for the last couple of decades. In the first Test against South Africa in 2006 at Colombo, Sri Lanka was struggling at 14/2 in reply to South Africa’s score of 169 in the first innings. Sanga and Jaya put on 624 runs on the board for the third wicket, a record which is very unlikely to be broken. The partnership was broken by Andrew Hall when he dismissed Sangakkara on 287. While Sanga was unlucky to miss out on a triple ton, Jayawardene wasn’t lucky either as he missed out on an opportunity to score 400. He was bowled by Andre Nel for 374 runs. Sri Lanka went on to win the match by an innings and 153 runs.
