Jayasuriya — aged 39 years and 212 days — became the oldest player to score an ODI hundred, surpassing former England captain Geoff Boycott who scored a century against Australia in Sydney in 1979 at the age of 39 years and 51 days.
It was also the first hundred by a Sri Lanka batsman in a home ODI in three and half years. Upul Tharanga was the last to do so, against Bangladesh in Sept. 2005. Please visit the website for more details.
